This is really strange, I can suggest some things that might be the problem:
1) you have some kind of patch installed (ie. in %user.r) which worked
in previous versions of rebol, but not in the new ones...
(I have this problem with a patch I wrote for 'do)
Try to install a clean %user.r or otherwice prevent REBOL from starting
any non-standard stuff and try again
2) Perhaps your web-server sends something in the header that REBOL doesn't
like.
It would be interesting to see the header that your server sends.
Below is a cut from a REBOL session that establishes a direct tcp
connection to localhost:80 (tcp example from www.rebol.com).
Could you try the same and send the output? It might help solve the
problem.
3) Maybe it's a firewall/proxy problem, but don't ask me about that ;)
(## is my prompt)
## http-port: open tcp://localhost:80
## insert http-port "GET / HTTP/1.0^m^j^m^j"
## while [data: copy http-port] [prin data]
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: aws/0.97
