Re: New project....but where to start??

[Charles Wilt <charles.wilt@xxxxxxxxx>]

HTTP API will indeed allow you to make a PUT request to the given URL
and save the resulting response into a file.

I'd recommend using the beta from
http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/beta/

As it's solid with all the latest bug fixes and enhancements...

The EXAMPLE1 source included with it shows retrieving a file with via HTTP.

My only concern is the MD5 hash you mention...

It's not possible to calculate an MD5 hash until you have the file in
question, so for it to part of the URL, you'll need to have the MD5
hash prior to trying to retrieve the file with HTTP API.

HTH,
Charles
