I tried downloading a file from my web site.  No problem
if the file is in the root, but if I pass a path, it will not find
the file.

I tried:

download\delbut.zip
\download\delbut.zip
/download/delbut.zip
\\download\\delbut.zip
//download//delbut.zip
..\download\delbut.zip
..\\download\\delbut.zip
..//download//delbut.zip

etc.

From what you show, I would say that none of the URLs is valid

Please show us a snippet of the actual code so we can see what functions of
ASINET you are actually using.

Another idea (brute force method as a last resort)... use a protocol
sniffer like ethereal to monitor the communication between your program and
the server... maybe then you can see what the cause is.

If you are using LoadFromUrl(), then try the following:

http://mysite/download/delbut.zip

(replace (mysite) with your domain).

Hi Phil,

> If you are using LoadFromUrl(), then try the following:

I am just testing your LoadFromUrl() file.
My problem is, that i have made my own CERTs, because
I don't want to pay for my testing-site.
The IE or Firebird just ask me, if i will accept the
cert, even it is not signed by a trusted company.
LoadFromUrl() just gives NIL back.
In the INI I found two 'FLAG' entries wich might be usefull:

#define INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_DATE_INVALID  0x00002000  expired 
X509 Cert.
#define INTERNET_FLAG_IGNORE_CERT_CN_INVALID    0x00001000  bad common 
name in X509 Cert.

My Site is https://hubert-brandel.dyndns.org
My Cert and Key is valid for  hubert-brandel.dyndns.org
and it is not expired, just not signed from Verisign etc.

I don't know it the defines are working for me or if another is to use,
and I don't know HOW to get those Flags into the LoadFromUrl().
Which is the right parameter to give the Flags to LoadFromUrl().

Bye
Hubert

I've responded to this in another thread - I'll come back later with some
more suggestions/solutions.

I've added a new flag to the end of the parameter list, lIgnoreBadCerts.
Set this true and it will set both the above flags.  However, I don't think
this will resolve your problem.  You need to import the certificate into
your certificate store (see my ealier post and email to see how that is
done).
