HTTP GET without LWPby bbfu (Curate) |

bbfu has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Okay, maybe not really a Perl question, per-se... But here goes: I have a small program (gethttp) to make simple HTTP requests and print the response to stdout. Unfortunately, LWP is not available so it had to be done manually using IO::Socket. I copied the program from one of the Perl man pages and modified it only slightly. For the most part, this program works just great. Every once in a while, however, I find a page (usually a CGI) that doesn't seem to work. What I get back is a 404 Error though I know the page is there because I can access using my web-browser. I figure, there must be something going on that I'm just not getting. I can't find any documents anywhere explaining a different syntax for the HTTP GET, and I can't see anything wrong with my Perl code. I really just want to understand why it's not working and what's going on, though it might have a practical application in a project I'm working on if I can get it to work. I'm including the code from my program below, as well as a URL that it doesn't work on (I don't know if everyone can get to the URL, since it might be set up private to UF. Let me know if you have problems.) and the response I get from them. I would appreciate any help very much! The Program... The Response
