Hi All,

Thanks for all the suggestions. Actually there is one more issue involved .... that of https authentication. When I do the download from the URL I am redirected at https://access.somesite.com .

I will do some searching around on the net and will get back if I can make it work.

Thanks All,
Yogesh
