Hi Rick,

I would like to download files from the web and preserve the datemodified from webserver. Do you have a solution for me?

loHttp	  = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
loHttp.HttpGet(tcRemotePath, , , tcLocalPath)

Regards Toni

You can't directly do that because you're not dealing with a file system - you're retrieving a binary stream and writing it out to disk.

What you can do however is capture the Last-modified response header and then 'touch' the file and change the file date after you save it.

Something like this:

DO wwdotnetbridge
DO wwhttp 
LOCAL loHttp as wwHttp, loBridge as wwDotNetBridge
LOCAL lcFile, lcDate

lcFile = "c:\temp\wwipstuff.zip"

*** Download file
loHttp = CREATEOBJECT("wwHttp")
loHttp.Get("https://west-wind.com/files/wwipstuff.zip","c:\temp\wwipstuff.zip")
IF(loHttp.nError != 0)
   ? loHttp.cErrorMsg
   ReTURN
ENDIF

*** Get the Modified date
lcDate = loHttp.Gethttpheader("Last-modified")
? lcDate  && GMT Date

loBridge = GetwwDotnetBridge()

*** Convert GMT Date to DateTime
ldDate = loBridge.InvokeStaticMethod("System.DateTime","Parse", lcDate)
? ldDate  && Real date

*** Set the file Date
loFile = loBridge.CreateInstance("System.IO.FileInfo", lcFile)
loFile.LastWriteTime = ldDate

Hi Rick,

wow, that's realy cool. The wwDotNetBridge is realy powerfull.

Thanks for you sample.

Regards Toni

Not so much wwDotnetBridge but .NET... so much useful functionality that would be painful to do with Fox or DECLARE code.
