reading remote text file

trying some research:
found that this error needs to be addressed by using the
InternetCrackUrlA()

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/wininet/nf-wininet-internetcrackurla

apparently I have to break down the url before sending it?

@xra7en Just for me to do some testing:

• Which version of Windows?
• 32 or 64 bit?
• Have you edited the code I shared at all?
• If so, can you show me your calls to HTTPOpenRequest and the ones just before it?

In my code I gave you, my code already breaks the URL down into location and base URL. You'll see some MID$ stuff before I do some calls

oops I did not do any editing...

lemme tinker with that. I see you did break it down. I want to see if I can solved this (hints are helpful - sorta like playing portal.. point the direction but not what portal to what wall haha)

Ok dont see anything I need to change. I actually found your video on youtube - LOL. and your download worked fine. so it might be just how I am parsing the download

Which is the correct way:

download https://www.cooldownloadsite.com/download/filename.zip, filename.zip
or
https://www.cooldownloadsite.com/download, filename.zip

My curent setup is the first option.
