Well, you might want to change the lines that read:

$var = $req->as_string;

To

$var = $res->as_string;

Since, in the case of my example, $req is the request and $res is the response, and you want the text of the response, not the request.

C-.

Update: Start a response, get a phone call, get beat to the punch. *sigh*
