I'm currently getting the following:

[sean at smidgen /tmp]$ telnet www.cisco.com 80
GET / HTTP/1.0

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Mon, 06 Oct 2003 20:33:47 GMT
Server: CCO/1.0 (Unix)
Set-Cookie: CP_GUTC=128.107.241.137.138341065472427777; path=/;

Content-Type: text/html
Connection: close

Connection closed by foreign host.

And poof, that's it. No data. Try again, and I randomly get the whole 
page, part of the page down to the 'Feedback' line, or nothing.

Same thing happens from work (AT&T / Qwest) or from my cable modem at home 
(InsightBB.com). Mozilla/Firebird and IE (5 or 6) seem to treat it a bit 
differently, and so far, Galeon and Opera seem the most adept at handling 
it w/o spitting up when a page closes mid-stream.
