Hello, I hate asking this type of stuff on the -dev list, but it looks like jakarta-commons doesn't exist any more. This API doesn't make sense to me: To get the value of a HTTP response header (e.g. 'text/html' part in 'Content-type: text/html' header) I have to do this: Header header = .... header.getValues()[0].getName(); Wouldn't it make more sense to call getValue() instead of getName()? Also, it looks like HTTP Client is super strict and throws HttpException when it encounters responses such as these two: $ GET -S -e -d www.ananzi.co.za GET http://www.ananzi.co.za --> 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 01 Dec 2001 23:49:39 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.6 (Unix) mod_oas/4.65 Content-Type: text/html Client-Date: Sat, 01 Dec 2001 23:49:42 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 Client-Transfer-Encoding: chunked Title: Ananzi South Africa - Search Engine $ GET -S -e -d www.burkina98.com GET http://www.burkina98.com --> 200 OK Connection: close Date: Sat, 01 Dec 2001 23:59:57 GMT Accept-Ranges: bytes ETag: "8d78a-335a-3c049438" Server: Apache/1.3.19 (Unix) (Red-Hat/Linux) mod_ssl/2.8.1 OpenSSL/0.9.6 DAV/1.0.2 PHP/4.0.4pl1 mod_perl/1.24_01 Content-Length: 13146 Content-Type: text/html Content-Type: text/html; charset=windows-1252 Last-Modified: Wed, 28 Nov 2001 07:37:28 GMT Client-Date: Sat, 01 Dec 2001 23:49:53 GMT Client-Response-Num: 1 The HttpException message is: "Error in parsing the status line from the response: null" What is it not getting that it needs? Thanks, Otis
