Hi Nigel,
I tried this and did get a timeout but I also got a timeout under
Netscape reading the same site and received no directory listeing
there either. That, unfortunately, tells me nothing other than the
server is really slow. You mention that you always get "some error or
timeout", so what error other than a timeout have you received? That
may be of some use.
