That's exactly my point - lots of places don't adhere to strict standards.
If there was a low, low level interface, you could either do what I'm asking
(copy verbatim from a document) or just fire up ethereal and capture the traffic
that you want send *that* for the correct results.

At it stands, its very hard to work around the fuzziness of the net wrt to different
http strings. I'm getting internal 500 errors when I try to talk to an IIS server,
and I know that I need to be sending a slightly altered string in order to get it to work.

I suppose I'll dig in the code.
