whether
somebody could provide a hint on what's going wrong with the following
script. Comments are included.
TIA.

pattern.search("GGHTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n", re.IGNORECASE) <_sre.SRE_Match object at 0xb75c6ed0> pattern.search("GHTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n", re.IGNORECASE) # this makes no sense to me. Why is the previous line matched
# and this not? pattern.search("GHTTP/1.1 200 OK\r\n")
