Re: Mime headers

[Scott Klement <sk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Charles,

HTTPAPI only creates files when you tell it to.

This situation just *smacks* of a bug in your code!

Perhaps your 'replyfile' variable contains a filename generated by 
something like this?

      replyfile = http_tempfile() + '.xml';

And perhaps you're processing the contents of replyfile only when rc=1? 
  But not processing (and also not deleting it) when rc<>1?!  That would 
certainly explain the problem.  (Yes, something is still downloaded when 
HTTPAPI returns an rc other than 1!)

That's just what it _sounds_ like.  To find out for real what's 
happening, you should consider debugging your code.
