The data type defined in the component is of no importance as long as you get the data. A document received from a HTTP server is just a stream of bytes. The bytes may be ascii char, binary file, unicode or whatever, it doesn't matter. Of course when you need to process it, you may need to know what you've received. Look at ContentType property and if needed additional header lines sent by the server. Just typecast your data accordingly. > Buffer that comes with HttpDocEnd() is a char * I guess you mean OnDocData event handler. You can typecast the pointer to whatever you need. Length is always given in bytes. -- Contribute to the SSL Effort.
