Hey, you're right, Blair :-) In the doubt, I double-checked Watt32, and I found both htget.exe and htget.c in there! It's just that it is not present in the source package of Watt32, and is nnot listed on the apps list of the Watt32 website, but it is included indeed int he binary Watt32 package, along with the main source-file. My quest is over. Thank you!

Re: [Freedos-user] HTGET for DOS?
HTGET was included in freedos 1.0 IIRC so you might find the source with the distribution somewhere On Mon, Apr 6, 2009 at 11:44 PM, Mateusz Viste mate...@viste-family.net wrote: Hi there! I recently discovered a cool file retriever for DOS called HTGET, written many years ago by Ken Yap. This program uses WatTCP, and requires only a working packet driver.

I asked the program's author about that, and he told me that the latest version he released is HTGET v1.02 (I got the source code from him as well). So here we are: Do you know who is behind HTGET v1.05? Where could I find source code to it? If I had the source code for the latest version, I could try fixing the virtual host issue Best regards, Mateusz Viste -- You'll find my public OpenPGP key at http://www.viste-family.net/mateusz/pub_key -- This SF.net email is sponsored by: High Quality Requirements in a Collaborative Environment.

Re: [Freedos-user] HTGET for DOS?
That's an old file, and I don't know why source code was not available with it. I found some 1.02 sources at http://mvmpc9.ciw.uni-karlsruhe.de/public/uka_ppp/SRC/WATTCP/ (also a version 1.01) and have mirrored this at ibiblio. http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/net/htget/ htget.exe also has been moved there, but I think we ought to delete it if we don't have sources. -jh On Tue, Apr 7, 2009 at 4:02 AM, Mateusz Viste mate...@viste-family.net wrote: Hi Blair!
