    having a URL source

         I need to know if I can use Business Integrator (either DJ Map or RIFL) to connect to a website (with login/pswd) and download a file.  I do not have direct FTP access to the source and it needs to be accomplited thru browser GUI web page.

     

    Basically, set source URL with Login parameters and down load a file.

    I'd know how to do this with Perl Wink

    The last comment confused me.  I don't think Perl has anything to do with Business Integrator.

    I need to find out if BI can login into a website and download some files such as a screen scraper might.  This could be either through the Map or the RIFL or a combination of the two in a process.

    It doesn't....

    But there are loads of sample scripts for Perl that will take care of all the handshake troubles that basic HTTP (Realm) security will throw at you. And you can call an executable from BI.
