Re: [Hipgmap-developers] Google not responding?

[Adam B. <ab...@tm...>]

Is it possible to open a socket directly to mt.google.com on port 80 and 
make the request by hand?  You could snarf code from terminal monkey to 
do it.  Then we would either get the full error response from google 
(and go talk to Bret about it on monday), or else (if it works) grab the 
bytes from there.

(Sorry, would do it myself, but am out on the town.)
