I tried sending a GET request but I catch always the same error "unable to find line starting with "HTTP".
thanks again..
Hi,
The server is not responding with a valid HTTP response as it doesn't include a status line. Even wget can't manage to connect:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] perl]$ wget www.computerhistory.org --23:18:41-- http://www.computerhistory.org/ => `index.html' Resolving www.computerhistory.org... done. Connecting to www.computerhistory.org[64.60.242.254]:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 23:18:42 ERROR -1: Malformed status line.
It is unreasonable to call this server a Http server let alone expect HttpClient to work with it. You should report the problem to the system administrator of the server.
Also, from your latest log it still looks like some method is being executed before the GET method is and the trailing "</html>" is being left behind on the connection - Roland is very much right in pointing out the problems caused by a server returning data for a HEAD request and you may also be running into this problem.
Also of interest is:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] perl]$ telnet www.computerhistory.org 80 Trying 64.60.242.254... Connected to 64-60-242-254.cust.telepacific.net. Escape character is '^]'. GET /index.html\ Host: www.computerhistory.org

<HR>

Connection closed by foreign host.
I wonder how they managed to configure Apache to not return a status line.
Anyway, past my bed time.
Regards,
Adrian Sutton.
