download a file

[amitkankani]

Hi all,

i want to download a file (say jpeg or audio or txt) from a particular URl.
This has to be done staying in the application.

Hence say, the user says download and my app downloads some content and shows to the user.

How do i get started in this direction.

My main worry is downloading of the file and presenting a notification to the user the amount that has been downloaded. Also it is a must for my app to download it without using eternal browser, and save it to a predetermined location...


thanks for any help

you can use FTP library and HTTP for downloading the file for both example you can find

Open C: FTP Client Example
Symbian OS: End-to-End HTTP API Example v1.3

Hi,
I was able to download the file using HTTP Client APIs...
However I am facing another problem now, HTTP Client APIs are not supported on s60 sdk 1.2, it is supported from sdk 2.0 only. I want to compile the project for all the versions, hence have to use RSockets I guess.

Any help as to where can I find a RSocket example to download a http page/file ?

There is no example for this, just use the normal TCP/IP example and connect it to the port 80 and send the HTTP headers and it works pretty well.

thanks yucca,

so this means I have to create my own headers before sending and also parse the headers / body received ?

the parsing logic has to be my own .... and not like the HTTP Client API which does basic http parsing.

thanks again for the confirmation, so that now I can stop searching for examples and rather think on implementation part.
