Posts: 1                Attempting to download using HTTP, with authentication. 
 Have seen a lot of posts on the Internet where others have had problems with 
this as well.

Most were solved by using the following code.  However, I cannot get this to 
work.

It goes to the site, creates the local file, and downloads a "page cannot be 
found" page to the text file.

The file is there, all info appears to be correct as I can manually go to this 
domain, log in and access the file.

In SetRequestHeader, I've typed in the the correct user name and password.

Any ideas what I can do to get this to work?

Thanks.


In a push button:  

  Dim theURL as String
  Dim theDLFile as FolderItem
  
  theDLFile = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("RB 
STUFF").Child("5_THURSDAY").Child("data.txt")
  theURL = "http://domain/path/to/file/data.txt";
  
  HTTPSocket1.SetRequestHeader "Authorization","Basic " + 
EncodeBase64("user:pass")
  HTTPSocket1.Get theURL, theDLFile
