Thanks for the bug report.  I believe communication with pre HTTP/1.0 servers 
is not very well tested.  The TODO list also mention that we have problems 
talking to:  http://macpond.cis.upenn.edu/  Do you experience similar problems 
with this server?

I am not be able to spend any time on libwww-perl just now, so I would be very 
grateful if you are able continue investigation of this bug.


Can anybody explain how we are supposed to talk with these ancient servers?  
Should they accept the " HTTP/1.0" suffix on the request line (and the 
headers) without problems?
