Kat, As I said, I'm not privy to the inner workings of the 'read command in REBOL, so cannot say just what it might be looking for. I'm only speculating based on the difference in behaviour we're observing here. If it's possible for you to insert some header info before the HTML file that's returned, why not give that a try. I would definitely include something like that first line you see in my samples (HTTP/1.0 200 OK). Obviously "Content Length" and other info isn't critical since it's missing from one server's reply or the other. Perhaps the "Content Type: text/html" would be important (more to a real browser so it would know how to process the data that follows). And maybe the date line and "Server:" too (although the exact value wouldn't matter). One key item is the "double newlines" (i.e., blank line) after this header... as most of these protocols use that to know where the header ends and the body begins! Let us know your results.
