I tried it again this morning and it works now. I guess T-Mobile keeps a cached file for 24 hours or so.
At this point, I'm positive that the problem lies with T-Mobile: a) it works from within the emulator, b) I don't see a hit in the accesslog when I try to download it, c) it works after 24 hours. One thing I didn't try when the file was busted was to simply rename it or to add something like ?x=y at the end of the URL when downloading it. That should have solved it too. -Mike On Mar 17, 5:49 am, Jean-Baptiste Queru <j...@android.com> wrote: > There is a transparent proxy on T-Mobile's port 80, which works at the > IP level (so it doesn't need to be explicitly configured at the HTTP > level, but also can't be bypassed). > > Does your apk download over wifi?
