java socket 有问题，要求教

我要做一个从天气预报的网站取得数据的小程序,要求是用socket来做,那个服务器要求的格式是这样的:
POST /globalweather.asmx/GetCitiesByCountry HTTP/1.1
Host: www.webservicex.net
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: length
CountryName=string

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
string

我做了这个小程序,返回了部分的头信息,但最主要的string返回内容没有给我, 我是按照它提供的格式的啊,问题在哪?
还有就是我把请求的格式变成HTTP/1.0 才能运行，如果按格式要求的写成HTTP/1.1 ，根本就运行不了，这是什么原因？
import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class TCPClient {

public static void main(String argv[])throws Exception {

final int HTTP_PORT=80;

Socket socket1 = new Socket("www.webservicex.net", HTTP_PORT);

BufferedWriter out= new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket1.getOutputStream()));

BufferedReader in= new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(socket1.getInputStream()));

out.write("POST /globalweather.asmx/GetCitiesByCountry HTTP/1.0\r\n");
out.write("Host: www.webservicex.net\r\n");
out.write("Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n");

  String body = "CountryName=china\r\n"; 
  out.write("Content-Length: " + body.length() + "\r\n"); 
  out.write("\r\n"); 

  out.write(body); 
  out.flush();  

  String line;  
  StringBuffer sb=new StringBuffer();  
  while((line=in.readLine())!=  null)  {  
      sb.append(line+"\r\n");  
  }  
  out.close();  
  in.close();  
  System.out.println(sb.toString());  
}  

}

这不是标准的HTTP协议吗
干嘛还自己写一个Socket
可以直接使用apache的httpClient

同意楼上。不想用第三方包的话用URLConnection。
