My code open a socket and talk HTTP/1.1 to a remote web server, but I notice extra characters in the response, so I use lwp-download http://www.genius.com/index.html and capture the response with a packet analyzer (ethereal). The packet analyzer show 1ff8 after the response header and a 0 at the end of the response. When I look at the downloaded file, these characters are not there.
I tried this with another web server http://www.webex.com/index.html, and see the same symptoms. Any idea what these characters are and what lwp-download does with them? Thanks Khai
