Michael -
Which platform are you on? If Windows, then are you using the 3.6.2 VM?
Pre-3.6.2 VMs and the BFAV don't mix well when networking operations are
attempted.

Hmmm.. Well, regarding the in-image HTTPClient code - partial-get is
essential to how the BFAV loads updates, and AFAICT the in-image code
doesn't provide the API methods I needed for partial-get requests. Care
to upgrade the in-image stuff so that it is as HTTP 1.1 compliant as is
the SM package?
:)
I'm not sure what you mean by "intrackable". HTTPClient is a Monticello
package; you should be able to see all of its class-extension methods
via the Monticello Browser.
