This is not a MJPEG issue, it's a problem in the HTTP access module.

This stream works fine for me at the moment.

Nevertheless, it seems that the HTTP server legocamera.marshall.edu 
sends LF as end of lines, instead of CRLF in HTTP headers. That's in 
violation of RFC2616, section 6, and may account for your problem.

It namely seems that your VLC took "--myboundary" as part of the HTTP 
response headers whereas it's the first content line. I've tried to 
make the development version more robust as regards LF vs CRLF but 
given I can't reproduce your problem, I don't know if it's going to 
change anything.
