I am having a problem with downloading from a particular type of URL
using Rev. It is a PDF document from the European Patent Office. One
example of this type of URL is the following:

https://publications.european-patent-office.org/PublicationServer/ documentpdf.jsp?iDocId=228969&sDummyParam=.pdf


It probably is the https issue. AltBrowser may help, as may Runrevs ssl library, but you have to pay for both of those. I've had good luck with https stuff using a shell command in OS X, there is presumably something similar on Windows, and certainly on 'nixes. It would go something like:


put "https://publications.european-patent-office.org/PublicationServer/ documentpdf.jsp?iDocId=228969&sDummyParam=.pdf" into addr
put "binfile:" & "myDownloadedPDF.pdf" into fileName
put shell("curl" && quote & addr & quote) into URL fileName


I'm certainly no expert on this sort of thing, so others here may be able to refine it, but it worked for me, so it might for you.


Cheers,

Mark
