Hi,
I am trying to use the IdHTTP component from Indy 9 to
request a JPEG file from a camera server. I was using the
CppWebBrowser component, which worked great, until I found that
I needed to handle authentication with some servers. I already
have the usernames and passwords stored and I just want to be
able to pass them to the server "on-the-fly" without even
seeing the login dialogue box. I will leave the code I was
using with the CppWebBrowser component that does work until I
try to access a server that requires authentication.
If I can do Authentication with cppWebBrowser, then I will
stick to that. I am just looking for the best solution to solve
my current problem. If Indy HTTP Client is the best solution,
then I will need some sample code as far as being able to
navigate to the webpages correctly. I can't find a c++ demo and
I am having trouble testing out the IdHTTP component.
----------------------------------------------------------------
cppWebBrowser1->Visible = false;
String ptzUrl = "http://192.168.1.101/jpg/1/image.jpg";
WideString url = ptzUrl;
cppWebBrowser1->Navigate( url.c_bstr());
String fname = "C:\\JPGTest.jpg";
URLDownloadToFile(NULL,ptzUrl.c_str(),fname.c_str(),0,NULL);
if(FileExists(fname)){
Image1->Picture->LoadFromFile(fname);
DeleteFile(fname);
}
---------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks,
Chris
