Re: Read attached file from webpage

[dhollacher <ok...@ionet.net>]

Thank you for responding. I did review those classes and the default
implementations, but making that kind of adaptation requires a much deeper

this stage that I could be successful, so I'm reverting to use of
HttpsUrlConnection.  
I sincerely appreciate your courtesy and assistance.  

respects,  d.
