http://www.aprs.org/aprs12.html links to
http://www.aprs.org/aprs12/datum.txt which ... in "curl" gets:
Content-Type: text/plain
Content-Length: 6036
[and works]

... but in firefox gets:
Content-Length: 0
Content-Type: text/plain
[and fails]

... and if I connect on port 80 and send HTTP myself:
nc www.aprs.org 80
GET /datum.txt HTTP/1.1
Host: www.aprs.org
Accept: */*

HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
Server: openresty/1.15.8.1
Date: Thu, 21 May 2020 01:28:49 GMT
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 163

... but works if I add CURL's "User-Agent: curl/7.70.0", like there's
some surreal user-agent negotiation going on?

Similarly, http://www.aprs.org/aprs12.html links to
http://www.aprs.org/specfuture.html however that gets, in BOTH:
Content-Type: text/html
Content-Length: 0
[and fails]

... which could be an ironic message about the future of APRS specs?   ;-)
'Sup?
