Re: Need info & help

Please try this URL. I think it failed with "5.1l" but since trying this
out, I have moved back to "5.1j"  and I am not quite sure if I remember
correctly. Anyway it used to hang for any URL with the get method....

comline  -get http://www.ibm.net/cgi-bin/search.cgi   -form "terms=ISP"

Aravind
