Re: RPGLE API : How can I download images or PDF's from a website to my AS400

[Brad Stone <bvstone@xxxxxxxxx>]

My GETURI software will do this quite easily.

www.bvstools.com/geturi.html

It's as easy as this command (APIs and ILE functions also available):

GETURI URI('www.site.com/path/to/file.pdf') OUTPUT(*STMF)
STMF('/myfiles/file.pdf') SPRHEAD(*YES)

The SPRHEAD option says to suppress headers from the output that is created
so your PDF doesn't get corrupted.
