I took a look at the log from my web service. It clearly shows that it
received two requests (consistent with my HTTPAPI-based client trying
first the domain name, then the dotted-decimal IP address if it doesn't
get anything back from the domain name), followed by what Java calls a
"broken pipe" exception, which may or may not be related.

Looking again at the error message on the HTTPAPI-based client, I see
that "http_url_get_raw" returned a -1.

So it appears that the request is indeed getting to the server, but the
reply never makes it back to the client. Anybody know what could be
going on?
