i do loop InternetReadFile untill dwBytesDownloaded becomes 0.
my problem is not in reading the file, but in convincing the
server in client's ability to accept that type of file. the
server responds with 406 in a very strange inconsistency,
which means i've got to tell it first that i am aware of
teh potential MIME problems. i don't understand why the
server is not pursistant in its response and how do i
create my request header properly.
