http GET request from installer
Hi, all.

I want to send http GET request to my website URL when user installs my software. How can I implement such feature from NSIS script? I need only to send request and I'm not interested in any responses.

There is a plugin which uses IE to surf web pages, but I need a silent solution, if possible.

Please help me to find solution, thanks.

Try the NSISdl plugin, it has a silent mode. The plugin is supplied with NSIS, see the Contrib\NSISdl folder.

You can also use the system plugin with the proper Wininet api.

There is a command line program called wget which you can use for this. I used wget because nsisdl didn't work with https.
