Re: How to perform an HTTP download using a script ?

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I have good results from using the microsoft XML objects.
I have tested this as a .vbs

'**sample code**

Dim objXMLHTTP
Dim strPage

Set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.serverXMLHTTP.4.0")

objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", "http://www.microsoft.com";, False
objXMLHTTP.Send

strPage = objXMLHTTP.responseText

MsgBox(strPage)

'**end sample code**

Have Fun.
