I'm surprised by this. (Not doubting you. :-)) But I've never come  
across a case of open-read-close working where get/put url didn't.  
What kind of error do you see in the result? Are the file paths  
identical in both cases?

On the other hand, I don't think there is any noticeable speed  
difference in both approaches.

Mark, libUrl only handles url commands for internet urls (http, ftp).  
The engine handles the file protocol urls directly. (Or did I  
misunderstand you?)
