downloading a secure file
During a installation I have to download a file from the Internet. With the NSISDl.dll this is easy to do. But does someone know how to download a secure file (username/password needed)?

Did you try the InetC plugin?
Stu
To make it really secure use https (inetc supports this).

Thangs for you answer!
It works, but
The file I want to download is on a https server.
With this plugin it's possible to download such a secure file but the user have fill in its username and password manually.
What I really want is pass the username/password combination through a function in the script. Do you have suggestions for this case?
