Hi all,

I am downloading a file from a web site using GetHTTPFile. The process appears to work ok and the file is transferred but the downloaded file is empty.. 0 bytes!

I am saving the file with the same name as the one downloaded.

Any ideas, anyone else had this issue? Here is my simple code:

i think because host name

SetHTTPHost(http_id,"www.mysite.co.uk",0)
If GetHTTPFile(http_id,"/test/stockmastertab.txt","stockmastertab.txt") = 1
or

If GetHTTPFile(http_id,"test/stockmastertab.txt","stockmastertab.txt") = 1

You got it, Marcus.... Brilliant again thanks!

It was If GetHTTPFile(http_id,"/test/stockmastertab.txt","stockmastertab.txt") = 1

That sorted this.

Cheers again, Rudders

A thought on the subject!

Surely if the file is NOT present the return should have been 0 and no local file created? I have also had a local file created containing a web page error message if the server file is not there,

Is this a fault or am I missing something?

Cheers

Pretty much none of the HTTP commands give you any sort of indication of error.

I already had this exact same issue, but Paul said at the time that he would look at the documentation so hopefully that might help a little in the future.
