Code is simple and clear:

```auto
rs = new Socket();
rs.connect("kirupa.com",80);
rs.writeUTFBytes("GET / 
");
rs.flush();

```

Most of the servers, including [kirupa.com](http://kirupa.com), send response back to me but [rapidshare.com](http://rapidshare.com) is not responding. It connects nicely but gets not response when i send GET command. Have anyone got any clue why rapidshare is not communicating with my flash application, while it communicates nicely with all the browsers.
