i'm afraid that i'm even more ignorant of the mysteries of configuring log4j than you. i've generally resort to System.err debugging. anyway, digging around in the real server's logs, i note that it doesn't log anything in the access log for these attempts. instead, it logs this helpful message in the error log: ***14-May-02 15:37:16.110 logplin(667): 2140: Illegal hello message : 18501 which implies that the request is something the server can't understand. then it hit me - i'm issuing a HEAD request to test for the existence of resources that i can't or don't want to try to parse. the real http server, bless its evil little heart, simply closes the connection for such requests: [balld@localhost tmp]$ telnet realaudio.webslingerz.com 8080 Trying 66.45.6.69... Connected to susan.webslingerZ.com (66.45.6.69). Escape character is '^]'. HEAD /ramgen/lingual/eyeprint.rm HTTP/1.0 Connection closed by foreign host. not even 501 or a 400 or a 403, any of which might have been appropriate. geez. so httpclient is arguably doing the right thing, and i'll have to catch this and retry with a GET. thanks for the debugging assistance. and i'm still happy to try to provide some docs if they'll actually end up in the repository. - donald -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
