The following is off topic for this group, but I had to followup. At 11:00 AM 8/19/96 -0400, John C.

The worst part is, it's a really crappy product. - It's support for persistent connections consists of sending "Connection: close". - It spits out TWO response lines/codes on a HEAD (neither of which is appropriate for the error entity body they send along with it). - For ANY method, you don't even have the opportunity to input HTTP headers before it spits out a response. How the heck it can support the Host= header is beyond me. Maybe they expect all the headers to be in the first packet (lame lame), or maybe they treat CRLF as CRCR (lame lame), which they= can't legally do anyway. ----BEGIN rafiki SunOS5.5 users/ddubois 1150>telnet spiderisland.com 80 Trying 199.35.3.99...
