Hi Steve Thanks for the helpful reply - I can now make the call successfully. The difference turned out to be that httplib puts a Host: hostname:port header into its calls, whereas getPage uses just Host: hostname. Plus there was something else going on in some other code I'm using that made this a problem (it was calculating a signature based on host:port).

At least on my machine (curl 7.18.0 on Linux Ubuntu/Hardy) it adds a User-agent, an Accept: */*, and also the Host header. Steve> 2> Get Charles http://www.charlesproxy.com/ if you're on OS X.

I tried it, but didn't make it work fully when sending requests from the command line (with SSL, spoofing DNS, etc). So in the end I just used netcat -l -p 443 and changed to HTTP to see what was being sent. I wouldn't have thought of doing that without your suggestion, so thanks a lot for the tip.
