Hiya

Thank you so much - that worked perfectly !

Greatly appreciated

Yes, you do. Just take all the data that you get and write it to the
file.

Here's a bit of code:

require 'net/http'

h = Net::HTTP.new('some.url.com', 80)
url = '/path/to/file.zip'

h.start{|http|
File.open('c:\tmp\stuff.zip',"wb+"){|f|
resp, data = http.get(url, nil){|gotit|
f.print(gotit)
}
}
}

You'll have to put in some rescue clauses for catching exceptions,

Today, kingsley@icecode.org quoth:

Hi

The main problem there is that I have no clue how to do step
3.

that is downloading the zip file once I have the url.

do I use the
HTTP module?

thanks
