How to Download Files from http

[cbutcher]

If you have a URL for a file you want to download, you can use the HTTP Client VIs to GET that resource.

Alternatives could include using "wget" or "curl" or similar from a command line using the System Exec node (but these are more brittle, and so should be a second choice).

Yes, you could use those too. I found the palette you meant now. However, when I tried to replace the example below with the webDAV code, I was told that redirection was refused. So as in the case below, be careful for URLs that redirect you somewhere else...

Here's an example using the client VIs. I picked the target by random repository on GitHub, then going to releases.

Interestingly, the file that comes out (output_file.html) just tells you you're being redirected to some other page to download it, so you don't really download the zip with this code...

Hopefully you have a real URL that you can GET.

You have wired "D:\" as your path to a file. I suspect the error supports this conclusion, but I confess I can't accurately read it.

You need to give a filename, not a directory.
