Difference between WINTTPREQUEST5.1 and XMLHTTP while pulling a CSV from a weburl

Hi guys and girls,

I'm a bit stumped.
I used the code below to pull a CSV from an internal website:

XML:

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

This works fine - but I want this done with WinHTTP because I want to avoid the "HTTPS" security warning popup, by using the SetAutoLoginPolicy AutoLogonPolicyAlways

Then if I change it to WinHTTP, it doesn't return me the desired result, but a mumbo-jumbo messed up result (so I guess it doesn't decode properly).

What am I doing wrong...?

A guess, but try:

Please Login or Register  to view this content.

Oh how I was wishing that worked... but sadly, it's still a messed up pile of garbage

What does .Option(6) do?

It forces following redirects. If you early bind, then the options are constants so you can read them.

I'm not at all convinced that compression is the issue, especially if the same thing works for the xml request, though if you want to check try taking out that header or set it to text and see what happens.

Just to clarify does the first example actually work?

Yes, first example works.
And yes, I am an idiot.
Taking out the gzip, deflate header gives me the desired result...

Why on earth didn't I think of that???

Glad you got it sorted
