Re: Need a way to download a file from a web site.

Why is LWP::UserAgent only for UNIX, not for Windows, is there a different HTTP standard for Windows ;-?

It works for both platforms! LWP::UserAgent does nothing more than form HTTP request, sending out, and get response back, parsing it.

is there a different HTTP standard for Windows ;-? HTTP is a protocol that is OS independant. If there were issues with a given protocol on a given OS that would more refer to the implementation for that OS, but LWP is not one of them...as you point out. Regards Paul	[reply]
