HTTP 1.1 allows a connection to stay alive, and request more files. One thing you may have problems with here is the fact that the remote server is trying to set a cookie. You'll also have problems if you get redirected. Solution? Use an external program to grab the remote page - I like cURL, you can get it from http://curl.haxx.se/. :) Jason
