Hi folks,
I'm downloading a zip file via a web service call - the file is embedded as a
long string within the ... node of the XML file, accompanied
by a set of nodes that name the (xml text) files that I should find within the
zipped payload.
So, I save this string out to to disk with...

Hi Keith,
Your zip file is corrupt. First of all, replace "file:" with "binfile:".
It is possible that the revXML external can't cope with binary data. In that
case, your zip file will stay corrupt and you'll have to retrieve the data
manually.

Thanks for the response Mark, the tip on binfile and the possible limitations
of revXML.
This particular XML file isn't too complex. So, although I have the STSXML
libary available, I'll first try extracting the zip file node string as a text
chunk.
Best,
Keith..

Sorted - I dropped the string into TextWrangler and saved it with the same
result, so it wasn't revXML failing to handle binary data.
A deeper dig into the web service documentation found that zip file string is
base64encoded.
So, a quick decode before the save to URL binfile:... and all is well.
