Internet toolkit - Looking for HTTP example

[nitulandia]

Hello all,

Dev platform: LV 8.2

I'm new to NI's internet toolkit. I'm trying to learn how to use the HTTP libraries.

All I'm trying to do is to download a file from a remote server, to my local machine (using HTTP, and not FTP).

Could someone outline the VI's I would need to use to accomplish that?

For example,

1. Open HTTP session

2. Specify Location of file

3. Get File to local machine

4. Close HTTP session

I'm assuming is as simple as that, however, not sure. I'm just looking for example code. For some reason I don't see any examples under the "NI Example Finder/Toolkits and Modules".

In advance, thank you.

Cheers,

edp

You might want to look at using the DataSocket functions. If you search LAVA or the NI boards, you will find many examples. This might help you get started:
