Fails here too...

But this reminds me of a "Stupid Web Trick" that I use in situations where
I want to grab something from the Web, but for whatever reason the link is
inaccessible from my browser (or Rev in this case).

STEP 1 - open your favorite text editor
STEP 2 - type the following into a new document:

<html>
<body>
<a href="http://www.server.com/link_to_file_I_want.xyz">link</a>
</body>
</html>

STEP 3 - save the document to your desktop as "link.html" or similar
STEP 4 - open the link document in your Web browser
STEP 5 - control/option click the link to auto-download to your computer

You can sometimes can save a page of Rev code from a Web browser but the
above works for pretty much any type of file.

BTW, Xavier, your stack seems to have a problem with a findtabstops
handler...
