<cFileName>
A character string with the name and the path of the local file.
Method HttpClient():getFile() Foundation
Sends a request and writes the reponse to a file.
Syntax
:getFile( <cFileName> ) --> self
Parameters
Return
:getFile() returns the object executing the method.
Description
Similar to the :send() method, :getFile() sends a request to the server. However, instead of returning the response as a binary string, :getFile() writes the response directly to the specified file. This allows downloading files of arbitrary size, for example.
After the method has returned and if the status code does not indicate success (200) nothing was written to the file specified. In this case the response content can be retrieved by the :getContent() method of the response object assigned to the :HttpResponse member variable.
