URL -> Download API

[TheSarlacc]

ok, so there is the URLDownloadtoFile API call. this downloads a file from the net to a file on ur HDD. what i want to know is: how can i get the size of the requested file i want to download?

Tangential suggestion - if you want to display a progress bar or know if it will fit on your disk drive, try the DoFileDownload api.

It does all of this stuff automagically.


Private Declare Function DoFileDownload Lib "shdocvw.dll" _
(ByVal lpszFile As String) As Long
Sub Donwload(sDownload as string)
sDownload = StrConv(Text1.Text, vbUnicode)
Call DoFileDownload(sDownload)
End Sub


Maybe not. But it does download the file as well.
