Re: wget via HTTPAPI

[Bryan Dietz <bryandietz@xxxxxxxxx>]

   Jeff it was pretty easy to adapt the example program #9 to get any
   filename from any host.
   the command looks like:

    Type choices, press Enter.

    URL of file to get . . . . . . .__________________-
    Local Directory for file . . . .________________
    Local File name  . . . . . . . ._______________
   I made each 256 bytes long

   I also used the the example in FTPAPI to make a WGETFTP in a similiar
   fashion..

     HTTPAPI newbie, have used FTPAPI for some time.
     Part of this was previously posted in the midrange mailing list.
     A contractor is doing a website product search for us (not live
     yet).  I am
     creating the search files on the System I and FTPing them to our
     godaddy
     website.  I have this working.
     The contractor says he will need a trigger of some sort to indicate
     the file
     uploads are complete.  He suggested wget.  The [2]midrange.com
     archives suggest
     either geturi or httpapi can function as a wget.  Scott himself
     said httpapi
     could do it.
     This list's archives contain this post from Scott in 2002:
     <fromarchives>
     Sender: Scott Klement <klemscot@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
     Not that I know of.  It should be pretty easy to do, however.
     What would be interesting would be something like a "wget" utility
     that
     incorporated both FTPAPI and HTTPAPI, and allowed you to just type
     a URL
     and get it.
     Like maybe:
          fetch
     url('[3]ftp://ftp.somewhere.com/pub/os400/something.savf')
     or
          fetch url('[4]http://www.foo.com/some/dir/somefile.dat')
     </fromarchives>
     Since this is from 2002, it's not exactly current.  I don't know
     what was in
     httpapi at that time.  I understand wget is used to retrieve
     website
     contents.  Isn't that what the httpapi procedure http_get does?
     Does that
     mean all I need to do is http_get of the url my contractor
     ultimately gives
     me?  Is it really that simple?
     Thanks.
