When the user agent string Java/1.6.0_16 is passed in.. Details of
the request/response at the bottom of this email.
I can successfully retrieve the dtd at this URL if a 'normal'
browser user agent is passed in, for example, "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U;
Linux x86_64; en-US) AppleWebKit/534.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/
7.0.517.41 Safari/534.7 "
A reproducible test case is as follows:
WORKS: wget http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
WORKS: wget -U 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US)
AppleWebKit/534.7 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/7.0.517.41 Safari/
534.7' http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd
FAILS: wget -U 'Java/1.6.0_16'
