downloading problems solution (?)

[Laudien, Joachim]

Hi,

I remember downloading problems with Netscape. In most cases the problem was that Netscape replaced Unix line ends (0A) with DOS line ends
(0D 0A) - even in binary files, not only .msi, but also .tgz and others. Replacing all 0D 0A by 0A with a hex editor (e.g. http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm) solves the problem. I didn't encounter a file containing a "real" 0D 0A yet :-)

Kind regards
