I ran this against the RequestHeaderExample servlet provided with
Tomcat and got the following:

user-agent Java/1.5.0_02
host localhost:8080
accept text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2
connection keep-alive
content-type application/x-www-form-urlencoded

Evidently the Java classes you're using are setting these defaults
and, as noted in other replies, Google doesn't like the user agent.

Regards,

Patrick
