You want to download the .svg files mentioned on that page?

That is possible. In different ways.

You could use a HTTP component to download the page. Then parse the
pagesource to extract all the url's of the .svg files. Then use the
same HTTP component to download the .svg files.

You could use T(Cpp)WebBrowser to download the page. T(Cpp)WebBrowsr
has a method to give you all the url's of the links on that page.
After that download the .svg.

Hans.
