Thanks, the error is shown as a signed int when it's really unsigned,
making it: 0x800C0006.  This is documented as: INET_E_OBJECT_NOT_FOUND,
dispite the documentation for URLDownloadToFile not listing that as a
possible return code. Hey ho, it's all good fun!

It's possible this is as simple as changing the DEFAULT_ALLPINGERSURL in
config.h to "https://" instead of "http://".  Would you mind giving it a
try.  I'm guessing we'll get a new, more meaningful error code.  :)

The curl and wget options both call external programs that understand
https.  With the incorrect protocol specified on DEFAULT_ALLPINGERSURL,
they would probably both fail, just like URLDownloadToFile().

P.S. Thanks for pointing out my missing semicolons, I've corrected the
code now.

Best wishes,
