I really need help!!!

I have been working on a LibwiiGui App for a LONG time. At least 8 hours a day non stop.
I am so close to getting this. I am just having an issue with downloading files.

I cannot download ANYTHING but HTML files. It is getting really annoying.

This is the code (WorldWiideWeb Edited a bit)

static void *xfb = NULL;
static GXRModeObj *rmode = NULL;
static volatile u8 _reset = 0;
const char*defaulturl = "Websitehere.com";

/*
  This struct stores information about the HTTP response. For more information,
  see RFC 1945 [www.w3.org]
 */
struct httpresponse{
	float version;
	int response_code;
	char *text;
	char *date;
	char *modified;
	char *server;
	size_t content_length;
	char *content_type;
	char *charset;

};
void init();
int displayInetFile(const char *url);
void printResponse(struct httpresponse response);
/*

Keep in mind it works fine with HTML and PHP Files. I want it to download .bin/.mp3/etc.

I have tried uploading to free hosts.. Private servers... Both either give the 404 not found Page in temp.txt or I get
Exception DSI ...

I just want a download file code that WORKS with c++
The sample Http From HBB Doesn't work with this.

If someone could help me out it would be GREATLY Appreciated and I would gladly credit you when the app is done.
Thanks.

if you are downloading a wad... make sure your chosen web server serves it right... in a normal setup your web server will not know anything about an arbitrary extension so it will not serve it... you should configure a mime type in your web server for the file to be served...

Well I have no idea how to go about doing that. You know where I can find a tutorial or something?

You go to Mime types in your hosting control panel / your server's settings or so and add a mime type for the file extension you are interested...

such as,

.app application/octet-stream

Sorry, there is no general way to do this...

ps : here is a sample file for you to test your app, [www.tepetaklak.com] (file is a small gif file with the extension changed to app, in my configuration I have .app extension served as application/octet-stream

When adding the Mime type what do I put for Type?
application/What???

I'll test my app with that file thanks :D

Edit: It's a no go.. Exeption DSI :(

Any other ideas?

It will download from other sites no problem. (.txt) but I copied the exact same .txt but it wouldn't read it from my server.
What's the deal?

you can cheat and just change the file extension on your web server. i have an app that updates itself by downloading a wad and installing it. but i had the trouble with a wad file not downloading right from my server. i just rename the .wad to .file or .txt on my server and download it. then have my wii app rename it to .wad and everything works correctly. i didn't mess with any mime or anything like that.

OMG I had the EXACT same idea. But it wont download .txt either. I tried a test with like one line of text and DSI error.
I can download from randome sites on the internet with google's allinurl: /rules.txt

Is my server just crap or something?

I solved the problem myself! :D

Thanks anyways guys :)
