I've tested this on my Apache server setup, it succesfully downloads the gif
file and the text file and saves them. Even though I used the 'wb' flag
(write binary) for the text file it turned out okay (the difference in 'w'
and 'wb' seemed to be that 'wb' stripped off some of my blank lines). One
thing to keep in mind is that you if the file you're downloading has spaces
in the filename you'll need to replace the space with '%20' so it'll
download correctly
import urllib
files = ['game_config.txt','apache_pb.gif']
for f in files:
mysock = urllib.urlopen("http://localhost/%s"; % f)
fileToSave = mysock.read()
oFile = open(r"c:\python24\%s" % f,'wb')
oFile.write(fileToSave)
oFile.close

Hi, Jean
I've alredy tried this, but it seems that this kind of code just works
when "file" in the url (http://www.somesite.com/file) is an html file.
The thing is that "file" in this case is a text file. For example: if I
try to download the file using a web browser, it asks me for a directory
to save the file.
Do you have any other idea?
Thanks.
