Download internet file without interference

[yury]

Hi everyone,

How can I download a file in "http:\\200.150.20.14\f_080714.xml"
and save the same in folder "f:\Sistem\xml\" without interference of user ?

I am using:

Code: Select all  Expand view

cLink = "http:\\200.150.20.14\f_080714.xml"

ShellExecute(GetActiveWindow(),nil,cLink,"","",5)


It´s working, but the user need click in save button and choice the folder...

I would like do this automatically...

Many thanks

Regards

Patrick,

This is a topic which I am interested to.

Is there a possibility to check if a file exist on internet ?

For instance : can I check the existance of a file called :

http://www.test.be/test.txt ?

Thanks.

Sure:

Code: Select all  Expand view

IF wfReadURL("http://www.test.be/test.txt") # "Error opening"
   ... File is there
ELSE
   ... File is not there
ENDIF

Patrick,

Thanks for your answer.

I tried it out but I got an error "unresolved external symbol _HB_FUN_WFREADURL"

What now ?

Hello Mr.Patrick

Code: Select all  Expand view

oConn := TipClientHttp():New(TURL():New(cUrl))


Please let me know TipClientHttp() and TURL() functions are available in which lib ?

Hello Ramesh,

You need to include TIP.LIB

Patrick,
Is it available for Harbour?

Is it available for Harbour?

Yes, I think Harbour did port the TIP library yes.

Hi Patrick,

Code: Select all  Expand view

IF oConn:Open(cURL)
      cPageContent := oConn:ReadAll()
      oConn:Close()
   ENDIF


Is it possible to show progress bar (for example in message bar) while reading at ReadAll() method?

I download big files from www. Users confuse if there is a problem or not.

Thanks,
