The server is indeed returning binary content; it is gzip compressing the response body. If you examine the response headers from the server, you will see a header which announces this fact: Content-Encoding: gzip I do not think HttpClient has built-in support for gzip. You will, I believe, have to handle the decompression yourself. I hope this helps, regards, Mike --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
