I use www.domain.com so this is not the solution .... but thank you for the quick answer

I'm not using asp ... it's a vb software i wrote and I use an activex ... I cannot give you the url to download this activex because it has been bought by microsoft (sigh) to become the developing base of their own HTTP activex ... 

but on this page

http://www.makonin.com/components.html

you'll find another activex (mccHTTP) that has the same problem (redirection 302 on raq4 but no problems with other servers) (this is shareware and it's crippled so it returns only the first 1000 characters of the downloaded file but 1000 characters is enough to see the 302 error message)

Of course I could write my own control using winsock but I'd like to know why this 302 error happens .... and only with raq4's ...

thanks !
