I'd like to have a program run by my users that could retrieve a file
(or two) from the internet (HTTP or FTP or whatever, I don't care).
Is there a library available for this already?

I tried the suggestion posted by Andy Serpa about two 'pages'
back in the postings....namely that I try the 'CURL' product
and use 'libcurl' with Euphoria. It worked after installing 'libcurl'
and the OpenSSL library as directed on the 'CURL' website and seems
very powerful and easy to use.

Do you think it would be a reasonable solution for my clients (as opposed
to my own PC)? In other words, I don't want them having to download and
install a bunch of stuff just to be able to retrieve updates/patches/etc.

I fear the answer is probably yes.
That is, I went to a site: http://rays-web.com where 'Ray' had created
a Euphoria wrapper for CURL and several examples of using it (Euphoria).
The example programs in the download (eulibcurl02.zip) worked nicely, given
I had installed 'CURL' and OpenSSL per the CURL website. These steps, if
actually necessary, would be too much for clients perhaps.
Even now, I am facing the fact that Ray's latest release did not include
a version that handles 'secure' web sites....something I very much need.
I'm scratching my head to know how to remedy this issue.

Several months ago I needed a program that would
automatically download a bunch of files.
I found that Mic's urlmon in the Archive worked pretty well:
http://www.rapideuphoria.com/urlmon.zip
I hacked his demo a bit to get what I wanted.
I found that some specific sites couldn't be
accessed, but I could download about 90% of the files I tried.
His program uses a .dll that comes with Windows, so
there's nothing to install.

Well, the demo worked perfectly for me.
mic to the rescue... again! :)

9. Re: Retrieving Files via 'net with Euphoria Program
I made my own new wrapper for libcurl from scratch. I don't use Ray's. I have
not offered it for public consumption because it is highly customized to my needs
and highly entangled with many of my other personal libraries. I can see about
making a public version if there is interest. Although I am able to access https
pages with CURL, I've not really figured out the stuff to do with certificates,
etc. I usually end up putting it in a mode where SSL is enabled but it doesn't
actually check the authethticity of the remote site's certificates, etc. For my
needs this doesn't matter, but if you want true full SSL security you'd have to
figure out that stuff.
For most people, using the built-in (to Windows) wininet.dll is probably
preferable, however. It can handle secure communications automatically without
you doing anything special at all (just use https instead of http). There is a
Euphoria wrapper for it in the archive somewhere. I used to use it for
everything internet related, but switched to CURL because I wanted to use its
"Multi" interface, which is sort of simlulated async mode that works in
Euphoria's single-threaded environment (I couldn't get the async stuff in
wininet.dll working in Eu). CURL is also much easier to understand than
Microsoft stuff for my feeble brain...
10. Re: Retrieving Files via 'net with Euphoria Program
I used this routine it works just like clicking on a download link.
sequence DummyFirst, DummyLast, DummyMiddle
integer handle
DummyFirst = "<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=refresh"
& " content=\"0;\nurl="
if equal("http", recData[2][1..4]) then
DummyMiddle = recData[2]
else
DummyMiddle = "http://www.rapideuphoria.com" & "\\" & recData[2]
end if
DummyLast = "\">\n</head>\n</html>"
handle=open("download.htm", "w" )
puts(handle, DummyFirst & DummyMiddle & DummyLast )
close(handle)
-- EXECUTE THE Download
shellExecute("open","download.htm",SW_SHOWNORMAL)

You don't have to create a dummy file to do this. Try ...
sequence URL
URL = "http://www.rapideuphoria.com"
shellExecute("open",URL, SW_SHOWNORMAL)

I also created my own wrapper for internet dll wininet.dll that comes with
Windows, back in August 2002. It's simple to use. If anyone's interested I can
post it?

I am interested in anything that can be done to make Eu useable online.

Here it is:
http://www10.brinkster.com/tskoda/euphoria.asp#TSInternet
Unfortunately there may be many name collisions with some libs you may be using,
because it uses my general library files.
