I am new and inexperienced and can't find a way to get past something that
is probably pretty simple. So here is my problem:
I have always used the following script to download files:
$user_agent=new LWP::UserAgent;
$user_agent->timeout([$secs]);
$request=new HTTP::Request("GET","${urlfilename}");
$request->authorization_basic("${username}","${password}");
$response=$user_agent->request($request);
if ($response->is_success)
{
open (DOWNLDFILE, ">${datadir}/$filename") || die ("Cannot open
date file ${datadir}/$filename: $!");
print DOWNLDFILE $response->{_content};
close DOWNLDFILE;
}
The script is not working for the url I am now trying to access. I have
taken the urlfilename to the internet browser to see if the url address is
the problem. The urlfilename returns the Microsoft File Download menu
asking me whether I want to open the file to the current location or save
to a disk. I'm thinking that this may be what is blocking my download. Am
I right? If so, how do I get around this?
(Sorry about the simple question. I can tell by reading the messages on
this listserv that most of you are lightyears ahead of me. I have been
reading as much as I can on the cpan web site. If you point me in the
right direction and give me a kick I'd appreciate it.)
Thanks,
Greg
