Now get to it! .. ;0)

QUOTE(george seifert @ Feb 12 2008, 08:45 PM) I found myself with a problem a lot like yours a couple of weeks ago, and i ended up downloading a small command line program called curl to do the job. Just throw an url at this baby using the System Exec.vi and it will download avi, wmv, mpg, mp3 and all the media files you would ever want, directly to your hard drive! :0) Also .. if you have some skillz you can even use this small tool to sniff the http replys from the webserver and change the url dynamically if you receive a http location redirection. Otherwise .. you can download smaller media files using datasocket read .. eg. pngs, jpegs and gifs by appending [txt] to the end of the url you pass to the function. This way you get the raw file contents back, and you can freely save this data to a file of your own liking. Hope this helps you on your way .. :0) If i have misunderstood your question, i'm sorry..heh /Stinus
