A reasonable search to do, but one which might well have resulted in 
lots of work that was completely off base.  It seemed quite possible to 
me that the OP, clearly not experienced in this area, was simply 
referring to an "HTTP message", and I try not to spend lots of time on 
potentially wild goose chases when a simple request for more info could 
produce the certainty needed to avoid lots of guessing.  (Plus, arrogant 
though it might be, I feel that being direct and public about the need 
for proper background info, true replicas of error tracebacks, platform 
info, etc, may actually help reduce the recent apparent surge in folks 
who seem to be new to support forums and the etiquette thereof.  I know, 
it's probably a lost cause, but I'm still an idealist.)

It will be interesting to see how accurately you've guessed at what the 
OP needed.  My hat's off to you in advance if you hit the nail on the 
head...
