   Yes. It's easier than it looks. I just wanted to pad
it with all the luxuries, like gzip support and extensive
error handling. But the main advantage is that it handles
https transparently. And even without that, winsock
is a lot more work.

  On the other hand, there's always the WB control, which
is pretty much UrlDownloadToFile. Navigate has flags to
avoid cache and history. But personally I find that kind
of hokey.

 There's also a very simple method provided by the
userControl. Karl Peterson has a sample at his site.

  For some reason Filzip says it's not a valid ZIP, but
7-Zip opened it. Karl's code is very simple. Kind of
a hidden gem. But I don't think it does SSL/TLS,
and that's becoming something that people expect
these days.
