I can usually successfully read web pages into SAS via FILENAME with
URL, but I'm currently having trouble with a specific one. Running 8.2
under z/OS, both interactively and in batch, this FILENAME statement:

filename ciccodes url
  'http://www.nanpa.com:80/number_resource_info/carrier_id_codes.html'
  debug;
results in these DEBUG messages:

NOTE: >>> GET /number_resource_info/carrier_id_codes.html HTTP/1.0
NOTE: >>> Accept: */*.
NOTE: >>> Authorization: Basic
NOTE: >>> Accept-Language: en
NOTE: >>> Accept-Charset: iso-8859-1,*,utf-8

If I paste exactly the same URL into a browser, the page comes up with
no trouble at all. Any ideas?

Thanks,
