you've already enabled the expect-continue handshake. If the server still doesn't verify the credentials before sending the "continue", you'll have to split your actions into two requests: the first to make sure that the credentials are ok, the second for the upload. You could/should also complain to whomever it is that implemented the server that it doesn't work as it should. Note however that the HTTP specification does not *require* servers to check credentials before sending the "continue". It only suggests that they should. hope that helps, Roland --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
