Xcmd,xfcn or osax that download files?
Posted by: Henriken on 2007-07-17 18:34:56
Hi. 🙂

I'm about to make an simple script that download and show a picture or some text on one of my performas frequently.

(like a webcam over my city or a news feed etc..)

The performa is conected to the internet, but I miss one inportant thing, I have no Osax for AppleScript or xcmd/xfcn for HyperCard that can download the files.

(Exept some that does it by starting my web-browser, but I think it eats to much ram just to get one single file on the web)

I have tried to search after it on Google, but so far just found quite few interresting xcmds, and their links were dead.

Therefore I ask here if somebody know of an xcmd,xfcn or osax that can download a file that I choose.

thx
