Yeah, I've got a list of URLs like the one in the first message //s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169 240/grilled_cheese_on_plate.jpg
I'm trying to download the images from AWS to a folder. Previously I couldn't get "put URL into binfile" to work (0kb files) so I tried downloading the base64 encoded image data instead. That required using get/post, which is blocking. Blocking is bad. So I tried getting the URL instead so I can use libURLDownloadToFile instead. I'm getting the same 0kb file problem.
