Beyond FTP Script
Editor - HTTP_Get/HTTP_As Command
Back
to Feature Tour


The HTTP_Get command is used to retrieve information from a
web server using the HTTP transfer protocol. The command is typically
inserted in the script from a Get Web Page Parameter File created using the
Get Web Page program. Server addresses from the address book may be included
as part of the source file. In this case, you must specify either HTTP://?/
or HTTPS://?/ as the first part of the file name URL. The question mark “?”
is replaced by the server address field. Dialed addresses will be connected
before the HTTP command is processed.
The HTTP_PW command is provided so you can manually enter passwords in the
script. The HTTP_Tags command specifies whether HTML tags should be left in
the transferred file. Specify NO to have all tag information stripped from
the file.
HTTP transfers may include wildcard specifications in both the source and
destination file names. They obey ReQueue commands. HTTP transfers are not
affected by transfer modifiers or archive instructions. The status of an
active HTTP transfer is not currently reported.
Note: The inserted HTTP commands may be edited
directly in the script, or the information in the .GPF file may be modified
and reinserted. In the latter case, you must delete the original HTTP
transfer action.
Example:
