Hi, Joe. 

I haven't got an answer to your question as I've just started using 
libwww. 

I really wanted to say the newshub.com is a really great application! I'd
like to do something similar with weather satellite images. Libwww is a
solution looking for a problem. 

I tried accessing http://newshub.com the way I normally do using a
shortcut that has always worked in the past. That is by typing 
newshub.com without http:// in Netscape's location field. Why doesn't that
work?

One last question - I'm new to the list. I posted a question recently. I
haven't received it as yet. I don't know that it made it to the list. Is
that normal for this list? If not, how long does it take for messages to
get circulated?

I should mention that I sent a message before subscribing. Now that I'm 
subscirbed I do hope to see this in my inbox shortly. :)
