Can you post more details about the error. It seems to be working for me.
That website is responding HTTP/1.0 to a HTTP/1.1 request, but that
shouldn't cause this problem. Could you turn on the log and see what's
transfered on the wire?

Subject: bug in httpclient, can't talk to realaudio http server


i'm getting this exception when my httpclient (multiclient) tries to
talk to a realaudio http server:

org.apache.commons.httpclient.HttpRecoverableException: Error in parsing
the status line from the response: unable to find line starting with
"HTTP/

a URL for which this occurs is:

http://realaudio.webslingerz.com:8080/ramgen/lingual/eyeprint.rm

wget can fetch the resource fine, and when i talk to the server via
telnet, the communication goes as i would expect:

[balld@localhost tmp]$ telnet realaudio.webslingerz.com 8080
Trying 66.45.6.69...

sure, it's lying about the last-modified time, but everything else looks
fine to me. can anyone tell offhand what it's failing on or should i dig
into the source?

on another note, in response to a little flurry of complaints about lack
of sample usage documentation, followed by calls for the complainers to
write said documentation, i posted the beginnings of such a document
last week - and heard nary a peep from anyone, not even a "this sucks, i
could have done this in 10 minutes myself" retort. might i suggest that
if you're going to ask the user community to get involved, that you
should respond when they try to become involved?
