Thank you for the pointer to archive versions. I installed 1.1.7 for Ubuntu 8.04 and this enables the program to work once again. The three "winhttp:session_set_option" lines are no longer generated if I launch from terminal window. So there is definitely a regression taking place in the 1.1.7 to 1.1.9 jump. I would like to see this fixed in later version so will try and track it down a bit and get a bug filed as advised in earlier reply. Thanks for the assistance.
