Looks like fdupdate is just doing a simple shell call to wget: >> SHELL "wget " + UpdateChannel + "/fdupdate.tab" So, if wget isn't working for you but curl is, then one possible workaround is to write a wrapper for curl. The difference is that: >> wget http://---------------------/file.zip will download a file called "file.zip". However, doing this: >> curl http://---------------------/file.zip will spew the contents of file.zip to stdout. Unless you use the "-o" option. So that's the wrapper. Since fdupdate isn't looking for wget.exe, just allowing the system to pick the executable program, you can do this with a simple bat wrapper. Or you can write a C program wrapper. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
