download Zip file from Web in qlik

Hello All,

 

Is it possible to download zip file from website in Qlikview?

It is not possible using web connectors as I tried. Please help if we have execute commands or can make use of macros to download zip files from website.

 

Thank you.

With macro:

function DownloadFile(url,localFile)
	Set xHttp = createobject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.6.0")
	Set bStrm = createobject("Adodb.Stream")
	xHttp.Open "GET", url , False
	xHttp.Send
	
	with bStrm
	    .type = 1 '//binary
	    .open
	    .write xHttp.responseBody
	    .savetofile localFile, 2 '//overwrite
	end with
	DownloadFile="ok"
end function

Calling from script:

let df=DownloadFile('https://ayera.dl.sourceforge.net/project/qmsedx/12.50/qmsedx_12.50.0.zip','c:\temp\qmsedx_12.50.0.zip');
