dallase,

I did read your message, hence my reply.
I am not familiar with the term 'spammer drop page' or 'landing pages', which you do not go on to explain.
I google'd these terms and didnt find anything that seemed to relate to the subjet in hand.

Perhaps its just me, or perhaps you could have provided a more detailed explanation of what was going on.
Regardless, whatever these 'spammer drop page' or 'landing pages' are, this is not immediately related to the problem you had reported.

In your original post mentions that you can see the url properly in a web browser and by using wget.
This is contrary to my findings.

I notice you are new here, welcome.
Have you read How (Not) To Ask A Question or the PerlMonks FAQ? If not they are worth a read

Cheers,

Martin
