BB sends a HEAD request like this:

Hobbit sends a GET request like this:

GET /SELoginAccess.jsp HTTP/1.1 Connection: close Host: myhost.mydomain.com User-Agent: Hobbit bbtest-net/4.2.0 Accept: */* Pragma: no-cache

which should be much more like a "normal" browser request. I dont think the HTTP 1.0/1.1 difference matters, but you *can* ask Hobbit to use HTTP 1.0 by defining the URL with "http10" as in

1.2.3.4 myhost # http10://myhost/SELoginAccess.jsp

The only other difference is that BB includes the port number in the "Host:" header. I haven't noticed that before. I've just checked the HTTP 1.1 RFC, and it's true that the "Host" header must include the port number if it is not the default (80 for http, 443 for https). You may want to try the attached patch to see if it makes a difference.

I just downloaded and applied the attached patch to the httptest.c file and recompiled the sources. Without doing a "make install" over the existing Hobbit installation, what is the easiest way to copy just the appropriate file(s) into place?
