>Let me know if you need more numbers/data. Are you suggesting that 10% of HTTP sites on the internet don't identify their protocol or version in an HTTP response? It matters greatly which 122 pages you fetched, and from where. Can you point to a publicly accessibly site that suffers from this defect that we could use as a test case? Can you point to a server or tool that generates this class of response? Has anyone else seen this problem? We could probably find a way to work around this specific problem, and would probably be justified in doing so if a signficant number of servers suffer from it, but I'm a little concerned about what other "lenient-mode" work arounds this would lead to. This is a relatively easy one, but if the server can't even get the status-line right... _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com/intl.asp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
