/me sighs ok, yeah it works, but that's not what anyone means. you're sending an absolute URI, which is only really valid for proxy requests (but must be understood by all HTTP/1.1-compliant servers for non-proxy requests as well - see 2616, section 5.1.2) anyway, the question was more about GET HTTP/1.1 or GET foo.html HTTP/1.1 the point being that the request must start with / (or be an absolute URI, such as for a proxy request). --Geoff
