Thank you very much for your help, Oleg. Since I am in no way
affiliated with Medafire, I unfortunately can't fix the server. I
did submit a support ticket requesting a fix though.
Since my client doesn't send requests just to mediafire.com, your
workaround isn't usable in my specific case. That said, I do have
other ideas for possible workarounds.
Thanks again,
DSA
