    connect to url and download a file

    Hello, my question is about VB 6.
    I would like help with Visual basic code for connecting to URL and downloading a file from the site.
    (The file is compressed with zlib 32 standard algorithm and the content has been coded with base64.
    After I have downloaded the compressed file I will need to decompress it and decode. The result will be XML file, which I will need to parse.)
    I know, this is becoming a whole project....
    I have almost succeeded in parsing the XML, although I can not read the elements in the child nodes.....
    However, I will be most grateful if some one can help with the first part of this challange - connect to URL and get the file downloaded to a local directory.

    Many thanks for the help, which I so much hope to get.

    You could use the URLDownloadToFile API function to do that.
