There is a problem with WWWLIB 4.1b1 and NCSA/1.5.1 (maybe other versions too, but at least with this). When WWWLIB sends a request with HTTP/1.1, then NCSA server replies with "HTTP 200 ..." (instead of "HTTP/1.0 200 .."). >telnet www.funet.fi 80 Trying 128.214.248.6 ... Connected to nic.funet.fi. Escape character is '^]'. GET / HTTP/1.1 HTTP 200 Document follows Date: Wed, 07 Aug 1996 11:15:43 GMT Server: NCSA/1.5.1 Last-modified: Thu, 27 Jun 1996 16:40:50 GMT Content-type: text/html Content-length: 2346 <HTML> <HEAD> ... The problem comes from Library/HTTP.c, which tests the reply with ... if (strncasecomp(me->buffer, "http/", 5)) { int status; ... and this doesn't match with the "HTTP 200 .." :-( The NCSA responce may not be HTTP/1.0 conformant, but perhaps the WWWLIB should allow plain "HTTP " and assume HTTP/1.0 in such case? -- Markku Savela (msa@hemuli.tte.vtt.fi), Technical Research Centre of Finland Multimedia Systems, P.O.Box 1203,FIN-02044 VTT,http://www.vtt.fi/tte/staff/msa/
