Posted on by Ronluo 5

Hi folks,

wondering if anyone has experience that using BC to download file from a url. Here is the scenario:

On a page, there is a field storing the url that user needs to download. And there is an action to trigger to download function.

I am looking into the https client datatype however can't find much helpful information.  If anyone here has experience please let me know. 

Thanks a lot!

    Hi,

    Do you mean the URL is pointing to the resource that user need to download?

    Hi Bilal,

    That's correct.  And the resource needs to be download to a specific directory that the user previously specified. Is this achievable?

    Thanks

    Hi Ronluo, I hope you are doing good.

    I think the documentation you are looking for is this one:

    File.DownloadFromStream Method - Business Central | Microsoft Docs

    Hi Kenneth,

    Thanks for info.

    I am aware of this DownloadFromStream Method, however i can't find article regrading how BC can GET the url content.

    For example, the file url is

    www.abc.com/123.jpg

    How could BC download the file from the url?  I am assuming it will need some HTTPS method?

    Thanks
