Keary already suggested that http://www.foo.com/ and
http://www.foo.com/index.html are not the same and that you may need to
use HTTP 1.1 instead of HTTP 1.0. He also mentioned cookies and I'm
starting to wonder if that's where the problem lies.

I know that you can emulate cookies with Perl, but I'm not sure what
module does it or even where to start looking for something like that.
Check your system to see if you have any cookies from the host that you
are contacting for the patches and see if they have set one.
