Remotely related, I use a HTTP/1.0 GET script, and this
script, after sending its request, closed the sending
direction to indicate that it now only waits for an
answer.  Recently I stumbled over a HTTP/1.1 server
sending only what would be the first chunk in HTTP/1.1,
instead of the complete file.

Who got it wrong, my script or this server ?  I got the
complete file when I disabled the code terminating the
sending direction (from my POV).
