At first glance, your question is really about HTTP, not Track, as your request appears to be malformed. I'd suggest using an existing HTTP client if at all possible. You could also contrast your implementation with: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-4.1. Or, get your query working with curl(1) and capture the interaction with a protocol decoder, perhaps Wireshark. Then analyze your client, and fix the deltas.
