That URL is not intended to work. It does not meet HTTP 0.9, 1.0, 1.1 or 1.2. It only works for some people by accident, where the web browser is willing to assume that what is returned is plain text. http://metaserver.netrek.org:1080/ is intended to be the URL for HTTP access to the metaserver. -- James Cameron mailto:quozl at us.netrek.org http://quozl.netrek.org/
