I tried to retrieve this URL from yahoo, but it gave me error 302
(moved temporarily). When I use netscape, it retrieves it. Is yahoo's
server denying access based on user-agent or some other header info?
Also, what should be in the request header from a robot? thanks all.

<a href="/homem/?http://quote.yahoo.com">Stock Quotes</a> -

Here is my attempt to retrieve:
venus:...tmp/net/src/web ->telnet www.yahoo.com 80
Trying 204.71.177.66...
Connected to www1.yahoo.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
GET /homem/?http://quote.yahoo.com HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.0 302 RD
Location: http://quote.yahoo.com

Connection closed by foreign host.
