Bug#569191: libwww-perl: GET behavior changed in squeeze: URL stopped working

[Andreas B. Mundt]

Package: libwww-perl
Version: 5.834-1
Severity: important

Hi, 

we use GET to download a wikipage and further process the data to
prepare the manual of Debian Edu. The command:
	GET "http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Lenny/AllInOne?action=raw"
works fine in Lenny, but stopped working in squeeze where "You are not
allowed to access this!" is returned. If you remove "?action=raw" from
the URL anything is fine. Is this inteded and we have to provide a
header?

Regards, 
	 Andi
