This is what's happening. I ran through the example
and found the quickest fix was to make the request
using HTTP/1.0 instead of HTTP/1.1.

Currently, the response parsing in www_tools merely
skims for "\r\n\r\n" and tosses that data away and
returning the reamining message. HTTP/1.1 can have the
chunked encoding response, that Bob mentioned, after
the header and before the message. This will be an
octal number followed by another "\r\n" and requires
the parsing look for the string "Transfer-Encoding:
chunked" in the header to determine if the chunk data
will be present.

Share and enjoy,
Ewan
