Tried the shell command, but all I get back is the openssl
stuff--no html from the web page.
The LWP reports 500 ("Internal Server Error"), but their
(Java app) logs say they return a 200 code, BUT they do see
some 2-6 minute latency in their app's DB access.
And no, the Java guys haven't produced their bug reports.
They're web devilopers--they tell you "it's out on the web,
everyone knows it."
Thanks again,
