     I didn't see it, Ron.  What reliably leaks for me doesn't on some
other systems.  Maybe you can shoot out the URLs again and see if they
leak for me.

   I had the same problem, but from some sites no problem.  It is a site
problem.  At least Arachne *will* allow us to make the choice of what to
do with stuff.  I had an even worse problem the other day though -- main
page at Altavista came down as text file.  

   I have a question here -- How does someone tell the server that the
file being uploaded is text/HTML and not text/plain ???  I don't see
that option in FTP anywhere.

l.d.
