After re-reading the thread I am struck by Jesse's comment that the
current coding never worked at all for him.  It seems like that must
indicate an environment difference or installed-software difference
compared to the setups where it does work.  (Antivirus maybe?)

Seems like it would be worth the trouble to identify exactly what the
critical difference is.
