in reply to Non-commital HTTP Response?

You should also try spoofing the UA string of your GUI browser in your script, as a possible indicator that the server is sending different responses based on the client.

(I say "possible" indicator because it could be using other properties of your request signature to decided how to respond ... but UA is a good place to start)

    Thank you all for your help. I'm not at work today so I can't check, but I'll let you know what happened soon.

    For the record, I was using HTTP::Size to get the file sizes, and it was returning sizes even for files which I knew didn't exist. That's why I started to GET them with LWP::UA, to see what was going on.
