** Description changed: Using Ubuntu Gutsy, package is libwww-perl (version 5.805-1, which should be the latest) - I accidentally typed GET / HTTP/1.1 on the command line, which invoked - lwp-request, a perl script. This particular script is already well known - and widely used, but the HTML code that it dumped contains adware - (attached). + Typing GET / HTTP/1.1 on the command line invokes lwp-request, a perl + script. But the HTML code that it dumped contains the expected list of + all directories in the local root, followed by unexpected _adware_ + (result of GET / HTTP/1.1 is attached). Notice that at the end of the valid and requested HTML code, code has been appended by the script which: 1) Includes, though the use of frames, an external advertising site. 2) Uses the Windows/DOS newline style for the appended code, which obviously was not generated in the same manner of the valid code (which appropriately outputs standard UNIX newlines)
