With the same cvs download when I got the w3 part about 2 weeks ago.
w3 comes in two parts now. A `w3' and a `url' directory.

Nothing at all happens

	 $ telnet www.cs.indiana.edu 80
	Trying 129.79.254.195...
	Connected to grouchy.cs.indiana.edu.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	HEAD / HTTP/1.0
        []   <==cursor here  forever

Finally   ^]
          telnet>       

Without the " / HTTP/1.0" I get these results:
	 $ telnet www.cs.indiana.edu 80
	Trying 129.79.254.195...
	Connected to grouchy.cs.indiana.edu.
	Escape character is '^]'.
	HEAD

Returns:

	<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
	<HTML><HEAD>
	<TITLE>400 Bad Request</TITLE>
	</HEAD><BODY>
	<H1>Bad Request</H1>
	Your browser sent a request that this server could not understand.<P>
	client sent invalid HTTP/0.9 request: HEAD /<P>
	<HR>
	<ADDRESS>Apache/1.3.14 Server at www.cs.indiana.edu Port 80</ADDRESS>
	</BODY></HTML>
	Connection closed by foreign host.

Going a little farther here, I'm able to connect with netscape and
lynx like this

netscape/lynx http://www.cs.indiana.edu:80

But not when w3 starts up.  So starting w3 on a local file then
calling ^o and putting the address at the prompt:

URL: www.cs.indiana.edu:80
w3 clains to have downloaded the page but nothing appears:

(from messages buffer)
Downloading of `http://www.cs.indiana.edu:80' complete.

When I open that address in netscape or lynx and look at the source,
the doctype says:
