Ok, thx for the info.  I ended up blowing away the new version I had 
built (in /usr/local/lib/ruby) and reinstalled XMLParser and nqxml just 
to be safe.  Unfortunately, I'm still getting the cookie error.  I've 
been looking over the code, and I've been able to figure out that the 
error is caused by calling extract_cookies(res) where res == nil, but 
beyond that, I'm lost.

Unfortunately, the cookie error is manifested using both gethttpmail.rb 
and thm.rb since they both work basically the same way.

Looking at the stack trace from the crash (reported in an earlier 
email), I see this line in the trace and it's a little confusing . . . :

		dav.rb(285): res = @session.http_wrap('PROPFIND', @uri, {}, doc.to_s)

I guess I'm a little confused at what 'PROPFIND' is, or what it does.  
In http_wrap(), the 'PROPFIND' object has the downcase property invoked 
on it:

		dav.rb(134): res = 
http_con.method(req_method.downcase).call(path_query, req_data, headers)

and that call is apparently being directed to propfind() at dav.rb(55), 
but I don't understand how PROPFIND is mapped to propfind(), and where 
arguments for propfind() are located . . .

Remember, I'm a Ruby novice :) Any pointers you can give, or places you 
can recommend where I can learn more on my own would be appreciated.

Cheers,
