HTTP Get

"HTTP Get" downloads a file from a website, using HTTP[S] with the GET verb. This script is not suitable for files larger than a few dozen megabytes, because it loads the entire file into memory before saving it.

Use this script like a source. Then configure one or destinations to save the files to their final locations.

Input Parameters

• HTTP_URL (Required) - The full URL of the file; e.g., https://myserver/reports/Daily.txt. Date and parameter macros are permitted.
• HTTP_IgnoreCertProblems - Whether problems with the remote server certificate (such as signer not trusted) should be ignored. Defaults to False.
• HTTP_User - The username, for HTTP authentication.
• HTTP_Password - The password, for HTTP authentication.
• HTTP_DestFilename - The destination filename. If not specified, the filename from the URL will be used. Date and parameter macros are permitted.

Notes

This script will work only when the website requires either no authentication, or HTTP authentication. Unfortunately, many websites require the user to signon via a web form, and/or to navigate through the site in order to access the download page. This script will not support websites like that.
