Jeeves vs Jigsaw

Well, try this:

telnet www.javasoft.com 80
Trying 204.160.241.98 ...
Connected to web1.javasoft.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
 
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 15:10:45 GMT
Server: Apache/1.1.3
Content-type: text/html
 
Connection closed by foreign host.


Then try:
Trying 204.160.241.153 ...
Connected to jeeves.javasoft.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
 
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: JavaWebServer/Beta
Content-Type: text/html
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 15:09:13 GMT
 
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<!--#config timefmt="%d-%b-%y" -->
<TITLE>The Java Server Product Family</TITLE>
</HEAD>
 
<BODY BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF"  
    TEXT="#000000" LINK="#990000" ALINK="#333399" VLINK="#333399">
........

You get the WHOLE root document.

Ok, try telnetting to Jigsaw:

telnet vlad 8001
Trying 204.233.137.152 ...
Connected to vlad.
Escape character is '^]'.
HEAD / HTTP/1.0
 
HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Date: Wed, 16 Apr 1997 15:18:10 GMT
Content-Length: 1490
Content-Type: text/html
Etag: "383698680:856216638000"
Server: Jigsaw/1.0alpha5
 
Connection closed by foreign host.


So I guess Jeeves isn't even HTTP1.0 compliant :-)
