famtech From: Portland, NY USA Posts: 5 Member Since: 04/07/04	posted April 21, 2004 8:38 AM I'm using webtool in our VB app using a GET to retrieve files off our server. We were previously using the ftp tool, but had to much trouble with firewalls. so we are switching over to the webtool. when i use it to get a "normal" content files (e.g. .swf, .txt) it works fine. However, when i try to get a .dat file it returns error 404 - file not found. if i rename the file to a .txt, it gets it. Is this a limitation of the webtool or is there something i can do to download misc. file types?
