Yes, in newer asinet versions there is a function called LoadFromUrl().
You can also build your own function with asinet's socket-functions.

Hi,

I can see this function, and tested it to read an URL HTML File.
But can I use it for a 200 MB Binary File ? And then the strint to the disk
?
Is this a HTML download ?

A little confused ...

Bye
Hubert

It simply sends a request through a socket to the server - whatever
comes back through the socket is your file, so save it to disk and it
should be ok.

I remember playing with LoadFromUrl() and calling a CGI which splits the
file (around 10MB splitted to 1MB each) and then once am done with all, I
Join them back at the client end. I was trying calling LoadFromURL() to
update the client side program in various threads (something like GetRight
etc.)
