Grab PDF from a web site 1

[LyndonOHRC]

thread232-1403324
I need to download several thousand documents and am trying to write a utility to do the job. The site that has the documents only offers http access. FTP not allowed. Anyway, we need to permanently archive these documents as the site is only obligated to publish these links until the case is closed. Obviously using the save-as dialog is really out of the question. BTW, the files are public record.

I'm trying to use the solution in the above thread to grab a PDF and will loop through the file set once I get this to work.

The template executes without error but the file that is written is not the correct size (should be 204kb but is 4kb on my server) and cannot be read by the PDF client.

I'm unsure what to try next or if this is possible; any help appreciated.

Try using the "path" attribute instead
