I have no problem accessing the correct information using the LWP command line program GET. The first URL generates a meta-refresh. If you follow the refresh, you get the same page as in your browser. LWP does not follow META refreshes AFAIK, so you have to handle them in your app. Keary Suska Esoteritech, Inc.
