Only issue I see is:

$min_cachePath = 'c:\\WINDOWS\Temp';

should be:

$min_cachePath = 'c:\\WINDOWS\\Temp';

Does this help?

1. after not work at all

2. my adds to config

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = substr($_SERVER['PATH_TRANSLATED'], 0,
strlen($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']) * - 1);

i'm also having this problem with apache... will post if i find a solution.

I had the same problem and the builder wasn't showing either. I got it to work 
by
specifying the sub-domain root as the document root in config.php like this:

if(array_key_exists('SUBDOMAIN_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $_SERVER)){
    $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = $_SERVER['SUBDOMAIN_DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
}

I'm working with an Apache server and when I initially got the "Bad Request" 
error I
checked to see what $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] contained. I then combined this 
with
the path to a CSS file and tested with is_file(). The file wasn't found.
So I added a PHP file in the same directory as the CSS file which printed the
contents of $_SERVER. I found out two important things:
1. The DOCUMENT_ROOT was one folder short of the actual path to the CSS file.
2. The actual path was contained in SUBDOMAIN_DOCUMENT_ROOT.

I added the code above and it worked.

I could also have added the missing folder like this:

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] .= '/folder';

However, I found the first option to be a little more solid and neater.

This approach may not solve everyone's problems primarily because
SUBDOMAIN_DOCUMENT_ROOT may not be available as a standard on all servers. But 
I hope
it gives direction on where to look for the problem.

Anyway, it worked. And I really had to get it to work because Minify is exactly 
what
I needed. Minify ROCKS!!! Thanks Mr. Clay.

Hey cool, I got it working.  I'm using CakePHP and they have a mod_rewrite rule 
in
the DocumentRoot that looks like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine on
   RewriteRule    ^$ app/webroot/    [L]
   RewriteRule    (.*) app/webroot/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I had put minify in my app/webroot directory when I got the 400 bad request 
errors. 
What I did is change the DocumentRoot in my Apache conf file to point to the
app/webroot directory (which I think is how CakePHP prefers to be setup anyway) 
and
reloaded the configuration... presto, it works!

Thanks Nairobi for the help and thank you Mr. Clay for this wonderful program!

omg.

install new ver

config change

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] = 'd:\\hst\denisx-ru_b0d8d0fb\\http';

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = $_SERVER["SCRIPT_NAME"];
if ( $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"] != "" ){ $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] =
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] . "?" . $_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]; };

http://www.denisx.ru/min_unit_tests/test_all.php - good
http://www.denisx.ru/min/index.php?f=_css/stylesheet.css - Bad request

?

@denis: If you're now using 2.1.2b, replace the config code you added with this:

$min_documentRoot = 'd:\\hst\\denisx-ru_b0d8d0fb\\http';

This is mentioned in the new upgrade instructions:
http://code.google.com/p/minify/source/browse/trunk/UPGRADING.txt?r=283#18

Minify shouldn't need $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] at all.

I just committed a unit test update that might shed more light on your problem. 
Just 
replace your min_unit_tests folder with this one:
http://mrclay.org/min_unit_tests_r284.zip

i confused :)
now install ver 2.1.1
http://denisx.ru/min_unit_tests/test_all.php - bad
and (r284.zip) http://denisx.ru/min_unit_tests_new/test_all.php - bad

adding $min_documentRoot = 'd:\\hst\\denisx-ru_b0d8d0fb\\http'; change nothing

where can i download 2.1.2? =)

2.1.2b

$min_documentRoot = 'd:\\hst\\denisx-ru_b0d8d0fb\\http';

http://www.denisx.ru/min_unit_tests/test_all.php - bad :(

Original comment by deniskhripkovv on 1 Feb 2009 at 7:16

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@denis:
Since you're on Windows, "/tmp" is not a valid cache path. The easiest fix is 
to 
comment out $min_cachePath and let Minify guess a path to use. If that doesn't 
work 
you'll have to figure out a writable directory.

It also looks like $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] is not being set on your server, so 
you'll need this code in config.php:

// from http://davidwalsh.name/iis-php-server-request_uri
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] = substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 1);
if (isset($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
    $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] .= '?' . $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];
}

request to close issue as is configuration problem, rather than bug / defect.

tmp is there. but not working. 
$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] include.

$min_cachePath = preg_replace('/^\\d+;/', '', session_save_path()); is working

but now next problem: !WARN: environment : Local HTTP request failed. Testing 
cannot
continue.

This issue is closed. Use the mailing list for support:
http://groups.google.com/group/minify

P.S. Install FirePHP and enable error logging to see what's going on. See the 
config 
file in 2.1.2b for details.

In my case I have similar problem (with 2.1.2)

"!WARN: environment : Local HTTP request failed. Testing cannot
continue."

 but disabled 'allow_url_fopen' in php.ini was guilty, must be Turn On ;)

Original comment by SmallPar...@gmail.com on 1 Mar 2009 at 11:15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

@SmallPartOfEternity: 'allow_url_fopen' is not needed for operation of Minify, 
only 
unit testing. Unless you need it for other scripts, you should disable it after 
resolving your other issues.

Original comment by mrclay....@gmail.com on 2 Mar 2009 at 2:00

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I had a similar problem and went back to basics to fix it:

Make sure that:
1.  the file exists (auto-copying wasn't working in my IDE)
2.  it is readable by the script environment (chmod 644 [file]), and
3.  the cache directory is writable.

Hi,
Encountered the Response: HTTP/1.0 400 Bad Request error too.
Make sure that you use absolute paths instead of urls.

By mistake I entered whole urls in the builder, this returned no error, I ended 
up with paths like this in the array:

'js' => array('//http://www.example.com/assets/js/jquery.colorbox.js', 
'//http://www.example.com/assets/js/suckerfish.js'),

Changing this to absolute paths fixed the problem..
Should look like this:
'js' => array('//assets/js/jquery.colorbox.js', '//assets/js/suckerfish.js'),

Have fun with Minify!

OMG!!!
BREAKTHROUGH!!!!!
Change in your config file $min_documentRoot
to the correct root for example: $min_documentRoot = 
$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/magento' or wherever you have the min folder 
installed
THEN TAKE OUT ALL COMMENTS INSIDE JAVASCRIPT FILES BEFORE THE SCRIPT
OMG so simple no more 400 Bad Requests!!!!!
