Ken

I only get the indepth response when telnetting from the Server to Itself.
Otherwise, from an external server, or my desktop. I do get the 400 Bad
Request Invalid HostName.

Could you clarify for me how the HTTP request should be formed with a host:
header.

I have been trying with:
GET /subdir/anypage.aspx HTTP/1.1 host: www.myserver.com

Thanks again Ken
