Hi, I'm trying to write an applicatoin that downloads a web page given a URL. I know there is an Indy component called TIdHTTP that can do this in two lines of code: TFileStream *fs = new TFileStream(filename, fmCreate); IdHTTP->DoRequest(hmGet,url,NULL,fs); Which will download a page into a file. However, I can't find this component anywhere on the internet (all download sites are out of date). I'm running BC++ Builder 5.0 Professional. Does anyone how to do this in BC++ 5.0 without this Indy component? THanks! Shao

Use the Get() method instead of the DoRequest() method directly:
IdHTTP->Get(url, fs);

Indy ships preinstalled with BCB 6+. Otherwise, download it from the
official Indy website: http://www.indyproject.org)

You can use Microsoft's WinInet or WinHTTP APIs. Otherwise, you have
to write your own HTTP code from scratch using TClientSocket or
WinSock API calls directly, or use another third-party
component/library, such as ICS or Synapse.

Thanks! It turns out that the TNMHTTP component in BC++ 5.0 can do the same thing, using NMHTTP1->Get(url). By the way, http://www.indyproject.org doesn't work any more. All downloads have been removed.

The Netmaster components are notoriously buggy and unreliable. That's why Borland doesn't bundle them anymore. > By the way, http://www.indyproject.org doesn't work any more. Works fine for me. > All downloads have been removed. No, they have not. I just tried it and everything downloaded fine. Gambit
