I've got several different HTTPS downloaders. Even one that only uses QB64 functions.Cool! If you come across it, and are feeling generous, that would be great.
I agree that making a Web browser is a Pandora's box nobody wants to casually open - even Google and Microsoft have to work hard to keep theirs up to date and bug free!
The reason I included Web browser in the functionality is that some sites display a file link in your browser, but if you try the link in a different browser it doesn't work, so I'm guessing the link is specific to the ID of the browser? Maybe a cookie or something? No idea. Maybe if the downloader can somehow identify itself as an existing Web browser that might work? (BTW I am so far removed from Web and networking and how that all works, I could be talking out my ass and wouldn't know it, LoL!)
