InetGet & InetRead not working?

[Opie]

I am making a log in screen for practice. I have never seen the skeleton of a log in screen, nor tried to code one. I do however know how they behave and how the login screen should return values, etc etc.

I have the log in GUI to retrieve data from my server based on the username entered. It will read that, then download a text file containing user information. If the entered username doesn't exist, then it wont download. If i ever plan on using this on a real project I will be using encryption methods I've modified to prevent account stealing.

I try to use Inetget() to download the text file (even tried the file as .html but didn't work) from my server, however that didn't work. I also tried Inetread, but its not returning any values. I will post my code below, if someone could review it and let me know what I am doing wrong, that would be great, thank you so much!

I used this method having the accoutn information on my desktop and that worked, however, trying to download the information is not.

Here is the link to the only account I have on my server: http://delusionality.info/noseeum/jacob.txt

I apologize for the messy variable names and such. I am able to understand them like this.

Wow thanks much!

Ya know..its funny. When I run into an error its always a very little thing, never anything big. I have got to stop programming for 6 hours at a time....

Thanks so much

It's the little things that will drive you nuts every time.
