The Problem
========

After upgrading from a 5.X version of BOINC to the latest 6.2.19 I started getting the error on my projects:

[error] no start tag in scheduler reply

Rebooting the PC, suspending, updating, resetting a project did not clear the problem. It occurred on the projects I tested eg. Rosetta, Malaria, QMC, Einstein except that World Community Grid did not have the problem. Probably due to having finished work units, QMC and Malaria got stuck in a loop where they continually sent scheduler requests that failed due to this error, so they repeated the request backing off in increments of time, though there were no work units running for this project.

Also "Synchronize with BOINCstats BAM" gave:
Account manager error: HTTP error

The Solution
========

Switching from http protocol version 1.1 to version 1.0 solved the problem for me.

Gundolf Jahn's reply in this Seti thread gave the solution, though the thread does not mention the start tag error, so I wanted to repost the solution here to make it easier to find:

Gundolf Jahn's solution:
To do so, you must create a text file named cc_config.xml in your BOINC data directory (if it doesn't exist already). The data directory is mentioned in the message tab of BOINC manager (the default is C:\program files\BOINC).
With notepad or a similar editor, enter (copy&paste) the following into that file:

<cc_config>
<options>
<http_1_0>1</http_1_0>
</options>
</cc_config>

There are no lower case 'L' characters in that code, only digits '1'. More information to cc_config you can find here.
In BOINC Manager (Advanced view) select menu 'Advanced->Read config file' to activate the new configuration.

Just for the sake of the link, here the (enhanced) quote again:
