Is this happening in a standalone or the IDE? A standalone would need revsecurity.dll for https. Tom B. -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/how-to-download-an-image-tp4715487p4715503.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at

I got bubble.is to send the base64 encoded image data instead of a link. So just putting the base64decoded data into URL is working. On Sun, Jun 4, 2017 at 12:41 AM, Colin Holgate via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Scott’s routine worked for me too. It’s worth checking whe

Remove the first "binfile" usage, so your code reads like this: put URL tNewImageLink into URL ("binfile:" & tNewFolder & "/" & tNewImageName) I used the following to test download to the desktop and it works as expected: put "http://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169
