MivaScript wget() or wdownload() examples.

[RayYates]

Hi Guys, Its been a while. (Miva is keeping me busy)

Does anyone have MivaScript wget() or wdownload() examples they are willing to share.

What kind of example are you looking for? I use wget on a regular basis.

I'm trying to use wdownload without success so tried to do the following in a page template.
wget() returns -1
The url file and path both exist.

<mvt:assign name="g.img_url" value="'http://www.pipusa.com/archive/products/1200/07-K200---UP.jpg'" />
<mvt:assign name="g.image_path" value="'/mm5/graphics/00000001/pip/'" />
<mvt:assign name="g.location" value="'script'" />

<mvt:assign name="g.ok" value="wget( g.img_url, g.image_path, g.location )" />

&mvt:global:img_url;<br>
&mvt:global:image_path;<br>
&mvt:global:ok;<br>

Ok, here's the issue I think. This line:

 
 <mvt:assign name="g.image_path" value="'/mm5/graphics/00000001/pip/'" />

You need the filename:

  
 <mvt:assign name="g.image_path" value="'/mm5/graphics/00000001/pip/some_image.jpg'" />

Got this:

    <MvASSIGN NAME = "l.source" VALUE = "{ l.module:pmDownloadURL $ l.module:code $ '.upd' }">
        <MvCOMMENT> assign target, temp and backup filenames </MvCOMMENT>
