Ok, I've fixed the problem with it mistakenly identifing the www/zope-*
ports as having bad WWW: lines.  Now it tries to use HEAD, and if HEAD
fails for -any- reason, it tries GET.  Also I made it partially lie about
the user agent it is (it calls itself Mozilla, but with some extra text at
the end identifing it as a libwww-perl script, and yada yada).

The new, most recent output is at

(Comments as always, are appreciated.)
