   What does "failed" mean here? If the HTTP server crashes, the socket   
   is gone no matter what you do.   
      
   Or does it run some CGI script which crashes? In that case I'd say   
   that http://example.org/foo.cgi is what it is, even if it's garbage   
   and error messages.  You asked for the resource, and you got it.  It   
   just didn't look like you hoped it would.
