hi

When using url stream's they open ok, but getting the stream size of the open stream returns 0. ive never used url streams in blitz so any pointers to where im going wrong would be usefull. Or is it not possable? have i mis-understood the use of StreamSize().


Local infile:TStream = OpenStream("http::myweb.tiscali.co.uk/blitzbasic/WinBlitz3DTest.zip",True,False)
If infile <> Null Then
	Print "stream open"
	Local size = StreamSize(infile)  
	Print size
	CloseStream infile
EndIf

End

thanks for your help
