Is there something with libwww that it does not like >to talk with NT servers? Hmm, that's interesting - the difference in performance may be in the TCP stacks as well as in libwww itself. What Unix are you running? Also, do you have some TCP dumps of what is going on? As they are all on the same wire, it should be easy to use tcpdump to capture the transfers. Make sure that you are running the latest version of tcpdump - you can find it linked from http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/Performance/ You can for example run it as tcpdump -s 2000 -w /tmp/dump.tcpdump host A and host B and port X where A and B are the two hosts and X is the port number. You have to be root in order to capture the data, of course. Henrik -- Henrik Frystyk Nielsen, World Wide Web Consortium http://www.w3.org/People/Frystyk
