Thanks. I see that Anthony has checked in a fix for this already. In the case of library bugs like this,
the fixing is often quite easy - unlike the compiler which has a steep learning curve. So you should
feel free to submit patches ;-)

BTW, In the case of our http connection code, it should be noted that the current implementation is
rather minimal. It works, but doesn't support things like HTTP/1.1, Redirects, etc that Sun's
implementation does; and probibly hasn't been tested exensivly with apps that do more than basic gets.
We'd be very happy if someone with a bit of http knowledge and a desire for a good-quality
implementation were to update or rewrite it...
