Turtles: File is 'corrupt' when downloading on servers only.

I found this handy program here: http://www.computerc...c-file-builder/ (Posted a link to the program rather than post the code since I assumed permission would be necessary to post the code itself)

I tested the program out in a single player world. Since the goal is the use the program on an SMP server, I tested the program in simulated SMP conditions.

I set up a turtle, downloaded the program from pastebin. At first I thought I could also pastebin the uncompressed schematic file, but that results in an issue that makes it seem like the schematic is blank.



I started looking for a solution to this problem, and found this: http://www.computerc...ile-downloader/

I edited the program with my own dropbox id, and uploaded my schematic file to the public folder. Then used this program to download the file, and then ran the build command.



It worked! I entered the information asked for and the turtle was on it's way building.

I took this information to the SMP server (with HTTP enabled), and went about reproducing my steps.



Blank schematic again!

I don't understand why this issue occurs or how I could fix it, so I thought I'd ask the pros. Hopefully someone can help/exlain how to solve this issue or has a workaround to this problem.

Thanks in advance for your time and help.

Guess no one knows why downloading the file to my own computer would work, but downloading the exact same file while on a server would in a sense corrupt the file.

I'll have to try figuring something else out.
