I know one of you guys probably has this tucked away in his toolchest somewhere and it's been so long since I did VC++ stuff (I'm embarased to admit).
Here's the trick. I have a website that requires authentication (standard name/password popup). This site has several files that I want to download programatically and save to the local hard drive of the user's computer. The user will have already gone to the website once and entered their name/pass and might have it "remembered". So the code will look something like this: WebFile = OpenFile( "http://site.com/path/file.name"; ) LocalFile = open( "c:/path/to/local.file" ); while( read( WebFile ) ) { write( LocalFile ); } The catch is it has to handle the authentication. I'm assuming m$ has a http file class or api that will open the file and ask the user for authentication as needed. But it's been so long since I looked at stuff like this I figured I better ask you guys before I waste several hours looking around. Thanks for any help you guys may have! _______________________________________________ msvc mailing list [email protected] See http://beginthread.com/mailman/listinfo/msvc_beginthread.com for subscription changes, and list archive.
