Can someone give me simple sample JS/XPConnect code to download a file from a remote website and store it locally?sorry, I have no actual code, but I can describe a way to do that: 1. create a channel for the uri, using nsIIOService 2. create an nsIDownloader object and init it 3. asyncOpen the channel, passing the nsIDownloader as its streamlistener (this does, of course, not only work for xml files but for any kind of file)
Thanks. I also found http://xul.andreashalter.ch/#10510825071051082204 which has a nice sample snippet. All I had to do was change:
//save file to target obj_Persist.saveURI(obj_URI,null,obj_TargetFile);
to:
//save file to target obj_Persist.saveURI(obj_URI,null,null,null,null,obj_TargetFile);
