I've been pondering this... i'm inclined to instead trust zap2it's
responses and say http 500 errors mean nothing else in the response
can be trusted. There's no reason to believe if the cookies appear
or content appears that it contains all the data it would have without
the 500 error. Fast wrong answers are still wrong.
Along with the other responses I've seen, I'm inclined to tear out
the patch made to the last release. XMLTV, I think, has a good track
record responding to problems with the _na grabber, big part is that
the code base is manageable. A big part of this is that it trusts
server responses to be inline with http protocols etc.
Cory, I appreciate how much work it is to read my code and to produce
a patch such as yours.
