IO::Socket...HTTP/1.0\n\n needs to be HTTP/1.1\r\n

[john2357]

I can not use the LWP module, and must use IO::Socket. Using 'Wireshark' and Mozilla and passing in the parameters below I get a valid reply. However Wireshark shows HTTP needs to be 1.1 and that the Internet line terminator needs to be "\r\n" and not "\n\n". How do I get IO::Socket to use the 1.1 Protocol? Also, how do I get Perl to indicate it is a Mozilla browser? I have been Googling this for several hours and am unable to find anything of use. Any help is appreciated. John

use IO::Socket;
$first_name = 'Steve';
$last_name = 'Dunn';
 
$sym_url = "/cgi-bin/pd.exe/search?p1=$last_name&p2=$first_name&p3=&input=grp_sxo_name&type=name&dlnumber=CC&dlstate=CC";
 
$socket = IO::Socket::INET->new
        ( PeerAddr => 'search.criminalcheck.com',    
        PeerPort => 80,  
        Proto => 'tcp',  
        Type => SOCK_STREAM,      
        Reuse => 1)  
 
# this does not work:
print $socket "GET $sym_url HTTP/1.0\n\n";
# I think the server wants this:
print $socket "GET $sym_url HTTP/1.1\r\n\n";   # BUT it doesn't wk either
 
while (<$socket>) {       # read in entire web page line by line
        print "$_\n";
    print OUT_HTML $_;        # Writes each line as it is read to the filehandle "OUT"
 }
 
   ### done reading web page
    print "\n\n----- done with web page -------\n\n";
 
## for testing the URL I am using is:
#http://search.criminalcheck.com/cgi-bin/pd.exe/search?p1=Dunn&p2=Steve&p3=&input=grp_sxo_name&type=name&dlnumber=CC&dlstate=CC

First Please use code tags,

Second Change:

print $socket "GET $sym_url HTTP/1.1\r\n\n"

to:

print $socket "GET $sym_url HTTP/1.1\r\n"
