Hi Richard,

I think the URLDownloadToFile function uses the same certificate store
as Internet Explorer so it might be a case of telling IE to accept
certain self-signed certificates.  I found these instructions on how to
do that:-
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/681695/what-do-i-need-to-do-to-get-internet-explorer-8-to-accept-a-self-signed-certific

I've tested this from within IE but don't have another URLDownloadToFile
binary to test my theory against.  Might be worth a try with your 3.03a
binary.
