Hi.I use urlmon/Lazarus 1.2 to catch a file from my server like this:

sourcefile :=UTF8Encode('http://www.address.com/mymapp/myfile.txt');
destfile:=UTF8Decode(myfile.txt); 

But I only got the old file with this! Then I put a query at my url
like this:

 sourcefile
:=UTF8Encode('http://www.address.com/mymapp/myfile.txt?');//? pick the
current file but delete first line!

This pick the current file (the one I want) on my server but, it also
delete the first line in my textfile when picking or saving it on my
harddisk!

Why does the ? delete the first line in my current urldownloaded file?

Does someone know this problem?

Grateful for answers.

Even if You can have in Lazarus filenames like myfile.eastwood  or
myfile.bush,
You can't have a file with more than 3 charachters in it's aftername,
for the server to read it.

*.text the server will not respond
Solution *.txt or in my case *.jkj

Have a nice day.
