Thanks, but I ran tests with the option of assigning the port. Unfortunately it doesn't work for HTTPS. :-(
and, for some unknown reason it was problematic for multiple file collections through the same LWP object. Any other help? I have a fall back method, but it will slow my process down, greatly, or I have to go to a more complicated method, that I don't want to use. Thanks again for your help. Greatly appreciate the chatter. :-)
