bender-rulez,
Does your question mean getting an image from an URL ?
In this case the easiest way should be to create a window with a web gadget.
If not maybe you could give more details.

Ok,
what i found already here in the forum is this for getting the image via http
Code: Select all
; Standard Connection Types
#CONNECT_FTP=21
#CONNECT_HTTP=80
#CONNECT_HTTPS=81
Connection.l = OpenConnection("www.example.com",#CONNECT_HTTP) ;OpenConnection
RecieveNetworkFile( Connection, "download/examples/example.jpg" )
CloseConnection( Connection ) ; close connection
the image will then recieved?!
what now?
how to display the image or save it to disk?
sorry about that question, but loading an image from disk I know how it works, but getting over the network?!?
I need it for without WinAPI
Thanks

Sorry Dudes! I got it already!
Corrected Code
Code: Select all
; Standard Connection Types
#CONNECT_FTP=21
#CONNECT_HTTP=80
#CONNECT_HTTPS=81
Connection.l = OpenNetworkConnection("www.example.com",#CONNECT_HTTP) ;OpenConnection
ReceiveNetworkFile( Connection, "download/examples/example.jpg" )
CloseNetworkConnection( Connection ) ; close connection
this do the magic! its download the File to the directory where my programm startet from!

I guess the problem is that you do not deal well with HTPP / FTP protocols right now ...
When opening an HTTP connection you first have to negociate with the server. Same for an FTP one.

Will DownloadURLToFile not work in this case?

I solved it already, I will post the code when at home again!
@kenmo: downloadURLtoFile is winAPI, but I do develop for Linux and Windows
thanks at all
