Get an HTML page using INET

Trying to get an HTML page using the INET control, I don't receive the whole content.
I tried to test 'STATECHANGED' ( 8 and 12), stillexecuting, responseinfo.  Nothing seems to work.
We are using VB6 without any Service Pack.  The HTML page is generated by a CGI program.
Is it a known problem ?
Have I to test something else ?

Thanks for your help
Regards

1) Install SP2 just to be sure...
2) What version of IE is installed?
3) Is the CGI code proven through another browser?
4) Does the behaviour still occur if you re .navigate to the url?

SP2 ? why not SP3
IE 4, but I don't use IE in this context !
With any browser it works.
Yes and no, it depends on: unpredictable !
Your IE installation can have a direct effect on the behaviour of the INET contorl (see misc Technet articles). I know very little about CGI im afraid. The only other thing i can suggest is installing IE 5 (and No, i don;t work for MS ;-))

Sorry thats all I can say...

Thanks for your help.  But I needed to use HTTP and not FTP.  Finally, I found that OPENURL doesn't work properly.  INET1.execute seems to be ok and it is quite similar.
