If you mean my httpget that quickly rushed off :-) I think the source
contains a routine called GetDataOffset which will return the offset that
the data starts, so for example:
Assuming data is in char *buffer;
long dataoffset = GetDataOffset( buffer );
Write( handle, buffer + dataoffset, lengthofdata - dataoffset );
Yeah? I really did rush that code and it really is crap :-) I am
working on a better version but all I want it for is to download a few
bytes file off my server for version checking and the new archive if
available, that's why it has no fancy features etc...
Kind regards...
Alex
