in thread WWW-Mechanizer under windows

When you telneted to port 80 did you try issue a

GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
following by two presses of the return key? Gettting a 500 Server closed connection without sending any data

back is consistent with telnet ipaddress 80 connecting but not sending any data.

    Right.
    It seemed like the problem was that I specified a
    $mech->get("http://10.0.1.1") instead of
    $mech->get("http://10.0.1.1/index.htm")
    which is weird because on linux it worked just fine without the index.htm suffix...
