Sorry, guys, I posted the initial URL wrongly... It should be

Thanks in advance again.

Use the OnRedirect event to get the URL of the refresh in the dest
parameter and then go get the file from there.

That will not work, because the OnRedirect event will *not* be triggered i
this case. The server is not sending back a true HTTP redirect request,
which is required to triggered the OnRedirect event. It is sending back
actual HTML, which in turn includes a META refresh tag. META refreshes are
not HTTP redirects, thus will not trigger the OnRedirect event. They are
strictly a client-side browser feature. It is the browser's responsibility
to parse the HTML, recognize the META refresh tag, and redirect itself to
the specified address accordingly. Hon Yuen will have to do the same thing
in his code - download the HTML, parse it, recognize the META tag, and
perform another Get() using the new URL.

Actually, the HTML is also using a frameset to trigger the download for
newer browsers, and using the META only for older browsers that don't
support frames. So you'd probably want to support frames as well in your
HTML parsing.

You need to parse the response yourself to actually find out where the

none of their services as far as I've seen actually is a redirection)
only, nothing resides on their own servers.

Thanks for the reply...
I think I somehow understand what you meant, but how can i determine if the
incoming stream is a HTML file? Do i have to wait until the file is total
downloaded? Or do i open the data capture in the stream (TFileStream in my
case) and parse the stream?
I totally dont have any idea for this. Any input is deeply appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

See if the Response.ContentType has a value, such as "text/html".
Otherwise, you'll just have to analyze the actual response content directly.

Get() won't return until that happens anyway.
