Hi sebb, Just to close this one off: it was classic "PEBKAC"... The stupid site sends the responses wrapped differently for that one page, resulting in the pattern not to match, resulting in a gigantic portion of the html being included in the RegEx, which... you get the idea. Reminder to self: Always check, double- and triple-check your RegExes ! Thanks for your help !
