Downloading a file though HTTP requests

[ColdFire]

i'm trying to download a zip file from a website, i think i have the request structured properly but there something wrong because when i try and open the file it says its an invalid arcive

here the code i have to send and recieve the data

    case FD_READ:
      {
        FILE *in;
        in = fopen("testing.zip","a+");
        ret = recv(wParam,recved,sizeof(recved),0);
        fprintf(in,recved);
        fclose(in);
        return TRUE;
      }
    case FD_WRITE:
      {
        char request[] = "GET /files/apps/htmlgen.zip HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: misdomain.tripod.com\r\nAccept: */*\r\nUser-Agent: Download Gopher/1.0\r\nPragma: no-cache\r\nCache-Control: no-cache\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n";
        ret = send(wParam,request,strlen(request),0);
        return TRUE;
      }

when i view the file afterwards this is at the top

HTTP/1.1 200 OK

so i delete that portion from the file and save it but it says its an invalid archive, can anyone see what i'm doing wrong

[ColdFire]

still doesn't work,any other ideas?

in = fopen("testing.zip","a+");

You're opening this in text mode (as you don't specify binary). In that case, you will screw up all kinds of non-printable characters that would appear in the file.

that fixed it, thanks.
