I can get a different response back from this server that no longer keeps
the Connection: Keep-alive there, using
curl command,
curl -v -i -H "Connection: close" -A "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01;
Windows NT 5.0)" http://www.emailcash.com.au

but still no body in the http message ?

Is there anything I'm missing ? a host or Referrer perhaps ?

Is it possible that this site has decided that if you don't have the ability
to
keep a persistent connection then stuff you, we are not going to let you
view our site ?

And no I'm not doing anything dumb to try and get free cash, it's just
that this site couldn't be fetched from using php with curl and I was
wondering why ...
