My code did not work!

Prototype.l URLDownloadToFile(pCaller.i,*szURL.c,*szFileName.c,dwReserved.l,*fun)
url.s = "http://www.google.com/"
filename.s = "index.htm"
*szURL.c = @url
*szFileName.c = @filename
If OpenLibrary(0,"urlmon.dll")
  Debug CallFunction(0,"URLDownloadToFile",#Null,*szURL.c,*szFileName.c,0,#Null)
  Debug GetLastError_()
EndIf

Could any one tell me how to call the "URLDownloadToFile " function!

@dongnanyanhai:

Code: Select all

Result = ReceiveHTTPFile(URL$, Filename$)

You should try Kiffi's hint and use the native PureBasic solution which is even crossplatform.
But if you nevertheless want to use URLDownloadToFile(), try a previous code example which
already answered your question:

However you should modify my example by inserting

Code: Select all

DeleteURLCacheEntry_(URL)

before calling URLDownloadToFile().

The receivehttpfile command might be os independant. But there are some problems with it (at least in win), just a hint since i almost went insaine before i realised the problem:
