VDS 3 and VDS 4 compatible

Here's a VDSug.dll conversion of Skit's URLMON.DLL
example in the "Visual DialogScript 5 Units" forum.

It takes a file URL and a local destination path\filename
as command parameters.

Note: The function only downloads existing files, it
will NOT retrieve web pages that are created as you
log on (such as the index.php for VDSworld forums).
Not on my system anyway. Wink

Requires VDSug.dll, IE 3 or later, and Windows 95 or later.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Code:

TITLE Urlmon.dll Download Utility

if @not(%1)@not(%2)
   WARN Insufficient parameters...@tab()
   EXIT
end

rem -- target URL and destination path\filename --
%%url = %1
%%file = %2

EXTERNAL VDSug.dll
UG DLLLOAD, 1, urlmon.dll
UG DLLINITFUNC, 1, 1, URLDownloadToFileA

OPTION ERRORTRAP, t1
  rem -- %z is zero unless memory error --
  %z = @ug(DLLFUNC, URLDownloadToFileA, int, int:0, str:%%url, str:%%file, int:0, int:0)
:t1

if @file(%%file)
   INFO Download complete...@tab()
else
   WARN Download failed!@tab()
end

A note on this example...

If you do not delete an existing file before downloading it
again, the popup window will show "Download Complete"
even if the download was a failure.

This is because it checks the file's existence as verification of
download success. As an alternative, you could add code to
check an existing file's timestamp before and after download
for verification. Wink
