Hi Nick,

The reason is quite obvious to me: VFP string length limitation. The work around is check for the len of tcBuffer and if it exceeds the limit, set it to '' or something...

>I downloaded wwIPStuff a few days ago to use in one of our applications for downloading automatic updates to our software. I was originally using MS's Internet Transfer Control, but it lacked a way to update a progress bar (not a good thing when getting >20 mb files over a modem).

>I'm using httpgetex() with the wwIPStuff class control on my form. Everything appears to work fine except for large files. I was taking each lcCurrentChunk in onhttpbufferupdate() and storing it to a new element in an array. When httpgetex() returned, my code added the array elements together and spit out the binary file.

>This worked fine until I tried getting a 7 mb file. I got an 'out of memory' error from FoxPro around 5,074,944 bytes. I just stopped program execution, figuring the large array was the problem. I changed the array operations to just do a StrToFile() with append set to True after getting each chunk. This also worked fine, until I tried that 7 mb file again. This time I suspended the program and saw the out of memory error was occurring in httpgetex() in the wwIPStuff class. The error is occurring on this line:

BTW, seems like tag < CODE > is not supported by UT.
