I noticed that invoking a HEAD request to the url http://www.ipswitch.com/cgi/download_eval.pl?product=main
results in a hang..
Instead, a GET request returns correctly.
I verified that the server supports HEAD requests, and actually it does..


The chunk of code I used is straightforward:

String urlName = new String(http://www.ipswitch.com/
cgi/download_eval.pl?product=main);

HeadMethod head_method = newHeadMethod(urlName);
head_method.setFollowRedirects(true);
head_method.setRequestHeader("User-Agent","Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; it-IT; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312");

responseCode = client_head.executeMethod(head_method);



the last call hangs indefinitely..


What could it be?
