Subject:

fetch http://www.yahoo.com returns with 200 but empty $response->content

Put http://www.yahoo.com as the target URL in the sample client code http://poe.perl.org/?POE_Cookbook/Web_Client line 15. It returns 200 success but $http_response->content is empty string. tcpdump shows the entire page is returned to the client. I tried 0.7002 and 0.72, on FreeBSD 4.10, with Perl 5.6.1. Thanks.

This appears to be related to HTTP chunking. When I changed Protocol to 'HTTP/0.9', return content is no longer empty.

[guest - Wed Oct 12 02:30:43 2005]: Can you double check that exactly 0.72 version is used. I had similar problem with Yahoo. This was caused by extra spaces after chunk length, which Yahoo sends (i.e. "8130 \r\n") I reported this (by IRC), and Rocco updated regular expression in Filter::HTTPChunk.pm, and broken Yahoo chunked response become working. I just checked, I have 0.72 version and this example is working if to change url to http://www.yahoo.com/ Show quoted text
