Hi,
We have a customer that wants to send us a URL link to an Excel file. If I am in a browser I can click the link and then click "Save" and so on. But I want to automate the retrieval of the file. Is there any way to retrieve this file using a program on the iSeries?
Hi Ken
You could do it through Scott Klement's HTTPAPI -
http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/ - which will require a little
programming.
Another way is to run one of the *nix url grabbers that run in PASE -
both curl and wget are available. Unfortunately the main source for
these AIX utilities, aixpdslib - the AIX Public Domain Software
Library, was retired recently, though it appears there is at least one
mirror[1] available -

Regards, Martin
[1] I have a local copy of the aixpdslib archive so I can make them
available from my site if the mirror doesn't work for you.
