Thanks to all who responded. It's nice to know I worked it out on my own and that several confirmed my fix as the 'way-to-go'. Since I've already exposed my HTTP ignorance, I have a general question about using HTTPSocket.

Once a download has been established and is in progress is it handled like a thread? Do I need to do anything else to service the process? Obviously quitting the app before a download is complete is not advised, are there any other things to be aware of to not sabotage the download?

This brings up a second question; I'm currently creating an instance of HTTPSocket in the button.action event to initiate the download. How do I get access to that instance to be able to monitor error and completion status? Is the instance name valid as long as the download is in progress? Should I create a class for this? (Ok Charles, I know you say yes! :-))

Thanks again for the info...
