tsnetGetFile() example using HTTP?

[Charles Warwick]

Hi Phil,

Does this lesson help you?

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/853715-how-to-asynchronously-download-via-sftp-directly-to-a-file

It uses SFTP with tsNetGetFile, so while the protocol used is different, the concept is the same.

Regards,

Charles

I have had limited success using FTP but it consistently fails (in my situation at least) when files are bigger than 200-300 MB (depending I guess on network traffic at that moment, or ???).

In my real-world situation I can't do that. My actual downloads are binary files that can be over 1 GB. I need to download them as files to the local disk, so for me 'tsnetGet' is out.
