Http request used to download binary files?

[Dorian (MJT support)]

Can this be done, and if so how would I go about it?

I have a large amount of rars that need to be downloaded from my site on a regular basis, and would like to schedule them to download one after the other, rather than clicking on them manually until they are all done.

If it's your (web)site, why not do[wnload]ing it with FTP?
something equal ...

Because it's not me who will be downloading them, and I don't trust the person enough to give them an ftp account

Can you compile your script which handles the secretive mission?

I suppose I could write it so the ftp username and password run from an exe, then read some kind of ini file telling it which files to download. Would be much easier it I can just get a webpage, and tell it to download every binary on that page though.... but if we can't use httprequest to get a binary file I'll have to go about it the other way instead.

thanks for your help guys.

With GMX (a German FreeMailer) you'll get a "MediaCenter" bundled to the "FreeMail Account". It provides 10 MB which can be used for files/images/... allowed to be shared with others. It's up to you to restrict the download area (you can send a mail with the login details to a specific recipient and the account can be set to a maximum available timeperiod) or not.

If you decide to pay a l'ill more then nothing, upgrade it to 100MB ...

Use HTTPRequest to fetch the index.html, and then read that file line by line checking for any sections with HREF in (or some other method to get your list).

Then again use HTTPRequest to fetch each file.

The trick is going to be analyzing the index.html/index.cgi file.
