Description Ian McKellar 2001-09-10 00:45:14 UTC 
The HTTP get_file_info code only tries PROPFIND and HEAD methods to determine
the file info of an HTTP uri. If these fail it needs to attempt a GET as many
important servers (including www.corel.com and www.mozilla.org) don't implement
HEAD correctly.

Looks fixed in the code (and symptoms are fixed).
