i was able to download html and other files, but NOT php files. maybe it is because of the php runtime, which causes a TCP timeout.

i don't quite know which code to go for, but here are both:

first:

	WriteLine tcp, "GET " + path$ + filename$ + " HTTP/1.1"
	WriteLine tcp, "Host: " + host$
	WriteLine tcp, "User-Agent: test"
	WriteLine tcp, "Accept: */*"
	WriteLine tcp, ""

second:

	eol$ = Chr(13) + Chr(10)
	WriteLine tcp, "GET " + path$ + filename$ + " HTTP/1.1 " + eol$ + "Host: " + host$ + eol$ + "User-Agent: test" + eol$ + "Accept: */*" + eol$

edit: forgot to add, but both are not working. i had this problem before. this time it doesnt work at all, but previously it was working randomly if you know what i mean...

newsflash: PHP and CSS files cant be downloaded. the reason for that is that i don't get a "Content-Lenght:" when reading the tcp stream...

thats how a normal header looks like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 14:18:40 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c

thats how a header of a php/css file looks like:

HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Sun, 04 May 2008 14:18:40 GMT
Server: Apache/2.2.3 (Debian) mod_ssl/2.2.3 OpenSSL/0.9.8c

Connection: close

Content-Type: text/html; charset=none

see, i do NOT get a __Content-Lenght__ information, so i can't download anything :(

its your own server then write a php script what sends your
the file

it seems to be a general problem. i cant seem to download php/css files at all... i just don't get that "Content-Lenght:" information in the header, which is most important!

This is because you have this:

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

This basically means that the trasnfer will be made as a series of distinct blocks.
See this: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec3.html#sec3.6.1

i'll work at this and will come back soon.
edit:WOW i got it! and since i learned from here how to download fast, i download a complete chunk at once and it is pretty fast, too.
thank you so much :)
