how to disable the file download popup window?

[FlyingBear]

I'm using a webbrowser in the program. it will login a site, then get a special link which is a csv file on the site. then I need download the file. since the site needs login and uses https, so, I use webbrowser.

now, I can login, but when I click the file link, it will pop a message box and ask me to save/open it.

is it possible to disable this popup window and save the file to local directly?


thanks

You should be able to use the WebClient class, and the DownloadFile method of it:

Using wc = New Net.WebClient()
    wc.Credentials = '//supply credentials
    wc.DownloadFile("address", "fileName")
End Using

unfortunately, I can not use webclient. because I need login the site to get the file url, the site is a https, and it seems the site also uses a cookie. so, if I just send a get request, it will fail. I have to use program login, then from webbrowser to load the url, but it will pop the file "open/save as" message box.

can I get around this and save the file directly?


thanks
