Question:

Download non direct urls over HTTP SOCKS

Oct 13 '12 at 23:43

I am trying to download using the Chilkat.Http.Download method.

I am connecting over a socks 5 proxy.

All works well for static download links; eg http://A.com/b.zip

But for downloads such as https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=77645ce84f&view=att&th=0382302424&attid=0.1&disp=safe&zw etc..

I have no idea how to make it work?

Any help much appreciated.

Answer

Does the "indirect link" work when not using a SOCKS proxy?

Answer

It does not work with or without socks soI do not believe the SOCKS proxy is the issue - it is how to handle HTTP downloads where the link is not an absolute URI?
