[ptt-users] Problem with HTTPProtocol.connect(1)

[Frank Cohen]

I agree it breaks the RFC. On the other hand don't want TestMaker to  
be the traffic cop for poorly implemented RFCs, so I'm choosing to  
allow it as an option.

BTW, the TOOL implementation is extensible to provide multiple  
protocol handlers, so if my option is truly wrong then I am open to a  
"bad boy" protocol handler for MS sites, and a "good angel" handler  
for everyone that follows the RFC. :-)
