Hi Everyone,
I have been trying to find a method to directly download some PDF documents
(lots actually) from I web site in an automated way.
As part of the experiment, I tried creating a simple html page with the direct
links to the documents I require, the idea being that I could just click the link
to each document to download. Unfortunately, this did not work. However, pasting
the URL directly into IE's address bar does work.
It would seem that the "secondary" linking I tried has a problem. Does anyone
know why?
Here is an example link.....
http://dfswebapp.tabnsw.com.au/get_dfs.asp?race=01&event=SR&type=WS
I am registered to the site......a logon is required so clicking the above wont
work for anyone else.
I would be grateful if someone could explain how the link works when the server
receives it and if there is anything I can do to automate the process.
Many thanks!
Mark
