in thread HTTP GET without LWP

Yes, I'd thought of that and tried it but it doesn't seem to work any better. =(

All the pages I've tried it on accept the full URL but since you say many won't like it, I'll change it. It seems to work both ways for the ones that work. Unfortunately:

$ ./gethttp 'http://login.gatorlink.ufl.edu/authenticate.cgi'
HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
Date: Fri, 12 Jan 2001 23:27:55 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_perl/1.19 mod_ssl/2.2.8 OpenSSL/0.9.2b
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

<TITLE>404 Not Found</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>Not Found</H1>
The requested URL /authenticate.cgi was not found on this server.<P>
</BODY></HTML>

Thanks for your help, though!
