urlstatus question

[Alex Tweedly]

I haven't noticed a reply to this .... if there was one and I just 
missed it, then I offer my apologies (especially if i contradict that 
answer ;-)

I haven't look at the user guide - this is info from the documentation 
(dictionary).

The last parameter to libURLDownloadToFile is a status callback called 
only when the operation is complete (whether it succeeds or fails). To 
get a periodic status callback, you need to call libURLSetStatusCallback 
- see the dictionary entry for it and for libURLDownloadToFile
