This change set needs to be adapted to the changes in the rewrite as 
HTTPSocket initialize was changed relative to the version this change 
set is based on. Thinking about it the changes to the method occurred 
way before the rewrite.
The bug your are seeing is that CrLf is not a constant in HTTPSocket 
anymore. When you just fileIn the change set as it is, CrLf is 
undeclared (just look at the Transcript while you are filing in) and 
thus is nil.
You need to send a message to String instead.
