Then the server returned no content in its response.

Then how come if I call the Perl script by itself (on the command line and NOT from my C program), it prints "HELLO-Hello-HELLO" with no blank to stdout?

So the only problem is that you want to extract some data from the file you are downloading. For starters, we need to know in what format is the file you are downloading, and in what encoding do you want the extracted data to be.

I set the content-type explicitly in the webserver to return content as "text/plain". I am just trying to print out simple text and nothing else. I want the format to be latin1/iso-8859-1. I want to get the same behavior as if I simply issued a "print $var" command as in the original posting example. I'm getting two different behaviors that I don't think i should expect to get.
