I tried that but it didn't work. Do you do it before the socket open?
That call works, but I can't seem to get to the file.
(Do you have a code fragment that would retrieve http://x.y.z/x.zip?)

Since I am transferring zip files (trying to do so verbatim), and
because I have omnisky unlimited (when not in the cradle or via POSE)
it shouldn't be that much of a problem.
Actually I should do a better job than PalmGear since they transfer
uncompressed PQAs.
