Hello,

I need to call a URL and pass some parameters, the URL that i'm calling will send back a file based on the parameters, how do i handle this in NSIS? i tried using Inetc::GET and Inetc:😛ost but not sure how to handle the file that is sent back..any input would be great, thanks..

Maybe you could post the code you already have and maybe we fill in the blanks...

Hey, this is the code,

inetc::post "http://somedomain.com/redirect.php?majorverion=2&minorversion=5
"$PROGRAMFILES\${PRODUCT_NAME}\productsetup.exe"

i was hoping the file sent back could be saved to the file "PROGRAMFILES\${PRODUCT_NAME}\productsetup.exe" but it doesnt, anything we can do? thanks a lot..

Does it have to be a HTTP POST? Normally you would use GET.

inetc::get "http://images.sourceforge.net/images/project-support.jpg" "$ProgramFiles\Foo\Bar\image.jpg" /END
Pop $0 ; $0 will be "OK" if string
