Minimum code to download a file ?

General
1

In the docs, HTTPSocket, the following example (different URL) seems to works.

I need to add a simple (as simple as possible) download feature in a project (no link to a page where you have to type a captcha, etc). Can I use that as a base for it ?

Dim http As New HTTPSocket MsgBox(http.Get("http://www.xojo.com/downloads/reference.zip", 30))

The other change to made is to save the file instead of the use of the MsgBox function.

You can give the Get method a folderitem.

Dim http As New HTTPSocket
Dim f as FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("references.zip")
http.Get("http://www.xojo.com/downloads/reference.zip", f)

Thanks Albin. I can use just that code for the download.

I do not want tow rite a download manager, just a simple “on the fly” method to achive that (download a file I forgot to get with the browser and will get from the project… as a facility brought by the application.)
