#49 Download issue from .cab file listing SDPs

[Anonymous]

This problem is partially our internet filter's fault, but there is a workaround for this, afaik. I've had the same issue in a .NET application I wrote. The error message is "Couldn't download the file. Too many automatic redirections were attempted." after trying to click File->Import Catalog, browsing to my .cab file and selecting OK, and watching the "Downloading files for ..." progress bar. I've seen numerous posts that list to add a CookieCollection object to a HttpWebRequest, and use HttpWebRequest instead of the regular WebRequest.

My concern would be that by making it an HTTP request we would lose the ability to download local file URIs. It's something I would have to play around with a bit; I'm not overly familiar with the WebRequest class and it's derivatives.
