Hi, I need to download tar files that are > 300M from a secure website. The following code stops after getting 78M. Would you please show me what needs to be changed in order to get all 300M? Thanks in advance!!
$browser->agent("lwp-download " . $browser->agent); my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => $ueTar); $req->authorization_basic("$p4idpw", "$p4idpw"); my $ret = $browser->request($req); my $ueFH = new FileHandle; open $ueFH, "> my.tgz"; print $ueFH $ret->content; close $ueFH;

Hi,
Thank you everyone for your suggestions. After some investigation, my original code actually works fine. The file download file was still in gzip format, so it was much smaller.
