VB & Webservices

[BerbBrown]

Hi

I am not quite sure the best way to do the following:

I have a webpage which when run through an Internet browser will create a .ZIP file containing a number of files. I want to be able to download the file and extract the files using VB6 or VB.NET (would prefer vb6).

I would use VB6 to call the page passing an argument which would in turn download the ZIP file. I need to unzip file using Vb6 (which I can do). My trouble is trying to understand the best way to download the ZIP file without using an Internet Browser.

The ZIP is generated dynamically by my webpage.

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

Thanks in advance

Can you map a drive directly to the webserver on which the site containing the webpage in question runs?

If so, then you can treat the zip file like any other file accessible through a mapped drive.

If you can not perform this mapping, then you may have to go the browser route.
