ehm, reading data from web?

Post by tester »

Quick question, because either I can't find or don't remember whether it works im FS or not.

How to read data from online webpage?
Something like - type in app http://something.com/data/
and get the online content into FS app (or onto local drive as txt file and then into FS).

Okay, thanks on that. Are there any requirements for either server or directory or type of file (i.e. dynamic php / static htm or something in header within a file or structure or something like that)? I mean - it works where the forum is, but gives error on static html file, I have someone else for dynamic stuff there.

Well, the Webserver has to return the content. That's the only limitation that I know. That means you can't use any redirection of requests (Status codes in the 3xx range)
