Right now my users grab a file in this fashion

I have an ASP page that authenticates the user, compresses a file, and then redirects the browser to the target file. Sometimes it takes 5 seconds to compress and redirect, sometimes it takes 40 seconds... Anyway, when the browser sees the .gz, it starts a download event and things work OK.

I am now trying to automate this whole thing inside a VFP app with wwIPStuff using HTTPGetEX but can't see how to make it go. Any suggestions?
