    msinet PUT to non-exit remote path?

    Hi,

    I am playing with msinet.ocx in my VB6 project nowadays.

    I can connect ftp server, upload, download, get size of a remote file, use chunk method to show the progress percentage in a progressbar etc. All is fine.

    Today, I have come across strange behaviour of msinet.

    I intentionally specified a wrong path (non-exist path at remote server) to PUT command to see the reaction of msinet. I mean Icerror number or error message etc.

    Strangely, ıt worked without any error mesage (neither displaying an error message nor assigning any error to ResponceCode and ResponceInfo or IcError code etc. All gone well as if the path is valid. Of course there were nothing (no file) at remote server side after the operation.

    Is this an expected behaviour of inet & PUT command or am I missing something?

    Thanks,

    I am not good at networking issues. I heard wireshark for the first time. Download it and run. many data flowing at my screen rapidly. I have no idea what is headers and how can I parse that information from flowing data.

    The remote site is my own web site and hosted by VodaHost, if helps.

    you can filter based on many things like processname = "vb6.exe" which should cut down on the number of rows you see.
