Question

I have few urls which are linked to a pdf example

abc.com/2g.pdf
abc.com/i8.pdf
What i wanted to do is Download the PDFs automatically in a Folder using Classic ASP
I tried to use this code http://blog.netnerds.net/2007/01/classic-asp-push-file-downloads-from-directory-outside-of-the-web-root/
but this doesnt work for Http it works good if the files are local.
I want to do it automatically.

Answer 1

I used the code posted by user580950 and the comment by AnthonyWJones and created a function version of the code. Call the function and it returns the content type of the file downloaded or an empty string if the file wasn't found.
public function SaveFileFromUrl(Url, FileName)
dim objXMLHTTP, objADOStream, objFSO
Set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")
objXMLHTTP.open "GET", Url, false
objXMLHTTP.send()
If objXMLHTTP.Status = 200 Then
Set objADOStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objADOStream.Open
objADOStream.Type = 1 'adTypeBinary
objADOStream.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseBody
objADOStream.Position = 0 'Set the stream position to the start
Set objFSO = Createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.Fileexists(FileName) Then objFSO.DeleteFile FileName
Set objFSO = Nothing
objADOStream.SaveToFile FileName
objADOStream.Close
Set objADOStream = Nothing
SaveFileFromUrl = objXMLHTTP.getResponseHeader("Content-Type")
else
SaveFileFromUrl = ""
End if
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
end function

I got this code somewhere on the internet if anyone wants to use it.
<%
Server.ScriptTimeout = 60 * 20
' Set your settings
strFileURL = "http://pathtofile.zip"
strHDLocation = "c:\filename.zip"
' Fetch the file
Set objXMLHTTP = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0")
objXMLHTTP.Open "GET", strFileURL, False
objXMLHTTP.Send()
If objXMLHTTP.Status = 200 Then
Set objADOStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objADOStream.Open
objADOStream.Type = 1 'adTypeBinary
objADOStream.Write objXMLHTTP.ResponseBody
objADOStream.Position = 0 'Set the stream position to the start
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FileExists(strHDLocation) Then objFSO.DeleteFile strHDLocation
Set objFSO = Nothing
objADOStream.SaveToFile strHDLocation
objADOStream.Close
Set objADOStream = Nothing
End if
Set objXMLHTTP = Nothing
