View Full Version : strange things happenning with raq4

I'm using a home made software to download files from the internet (actually, my Raq4). To download the files, I use a control I found on the net. The problem is the following: every time I try to download a file, the raq4 returns a 302 error page (file was found but moved here).
I've tried my control on other websites and it downloads files fine ! I've tried my control on another raq4 website (not mine) and I got error 302 again !
Then, I've tried a download control provided by microsoft and the problem disappeared. Then I tried another control from another company and the problem was here again.
The http header sent by my control is Mozilla (netscape) compatible so I don't think this is the problem but who knows ? Is there a place somewhere on the raq where I can configure user agents ? Or maybe this is an internal raq4 gimmick to disable website copiers softwares ?

Thanks for the help

Hi... your description is a little vague, so it's hard to pinpoint the problem. One thing I would do is make sure you're using the "www" in the address. If you don't the RaQ sends out a redirect message, which might be what's causing your problem.

hello !

thanks for the replies ..

I use www in the address so this is not the problem ..

if you go to http://www.makonin.com/components.html

you can download an activex that has exactly the same problem ... this is not the activex i'm using but if you try the examples provided, you'll see that it cannot download files from a raq4 because of the 302 redirection message ... on all other servers I tested, it worked ...

In fact I know I could use another control/component/activex/whatever but i'm really wondering what can cause this kind of behaviour ...
