I have been trying to interact with a Frontier:Daemon running on Windows. For test purposes I'm using the simple state_daemon.pl and state-client.pl. I'm running the client on a Linux box and the server on Windows 2000.

The server understands the client and responds to requests like "get_state_name(41)", but the client gets confused by what it gets back. It seems that it can't tell where the header ends, so all my content ends up in Client-Junk.

After extensive tracing with the debugger, I found that the server is sending me lines terminated with "\r\r\n" instead of the expected "\r\n". I attempted a work-around by modifying my_readline in Net::HTTP::Methods like this (on the client side): 

   #$line =~ s/(\015?\012)\z// || die "Assert";
   $line =~ s/(\015*\012)\z// || die "Assert";

That helped a little, but now there is another error about "unclosed token."

Does anyone know of a way to make Frontier::Daemon (or perhaps its parent HTTP::Daemon) behave correctly under Windows? I did a SuperSearch and came up empty-handed. Thanks for your help.
