[PD] Help parsing HTML with [httpget]

[Philip Cunningham]

Hello all,

Strangely I cannot replicate the problems I'm having in Ubuntu
Maverick on Windows Vista. Martin Peach also says that he is able to
parse information without any errors on XP. This leads me to believe
that the problem doesn't lie with my patch but elsewhere. A bit
stumped on this one for sure as I would much rather run this on
Ubuntu.

Best,
Philip
