the error checking has been stripped off to simplify the post.
there is no code line where it fails: it is the result of downloading
that is sometimes wrong. at random, the file i get is the 406 error
message (none of the code lines report a failure). some servers never
send 406; others - like the one in my sample - do it at no obvious
reason for that. let say i call the function 5 times in a raw on the
same file and 2 times i may get a 406.html file instead.

i do read everything (not shown for the sake of simplicity).

i will try it shortly.
