Hi,
I have an issue with socket programming, that is I can't read (even with sysread) the end of the data on a socket.
Here is the (very) simple code that shows the issue. 
use strict;
use IO::Socket;

                        my $host = IO::Socket::INET->new (
                        PeerAddr=> 'www.smartadserver.com',
                        PeerPort=> '80',
                        Proto => "tcp",
                        Type => SOCK_STREAM,
                        );


print $host <<EOM;

my $byte;
while (sysread($host,$byte,1)==1) {
print $byte;
}

What I should see, along with the HTTP response is the HTML header, however, here is what I get on the screen.

****** Suprisingly, HTML DATA is missing here...*****

And tcpdump is indeed showing the HTML code, so it is really being sent ! On top of this, if I do this manually (i.e. open a telnet on port 80 on www.smartadserver.com and paste the same HTTP request that is contained in the perl programm, I get the full response (HTTP answer+HTML code)).
I am really puzzled, particularly because I paid attention (using sysread) to read on a per-byte basis to avoid the necessity of having an EOL at the end of the data.
I've spent already a complete day looking at this and I would appreciate any hints ;-).
Thanks
S.
