[therube]

I did put in a newer version of NT...

Older version worked.

I suppose it is the encoding in the GET, '%23%20 HTTP/1.1' ?

Odd...

[therube]

Actually... It looks to be an odd interaction between Net Transport 297 & FlashGot (https://flashgot.net/).

When I FlashGot the link, for whatever reason a # (symbol, %23) is being appended to the GET.
If drag the link into the download window (in Net Transport), that does not happen.

And it also does not happen, regardless, in the older version of Net Transport.

(When I put in the more recent NT, it oddly was not picked up, automatically, by FlashGot & I had to add it manually.)


So it is the GET (in combination with NT & FG).
In one case, I am, '%23%20<sp>HTTP/1.1'
& in the other, '<sp> HTTP/1.1'.


(I've not run across such issue - anywhere else, that I can recall, at least.
Now, I'll be more cognizant, in case I do...)
