Hi Fellow Monks
I've been searching through the old nodes to solve my problem but can't seem to get an answer

my knowledge on HTTP is limited to 2 days
All I was told is to get a zip file through HTTP

I found the following code where I can retrieve a htm file through http but I can't find a way to fetch a file like a zip file through http and put it in a specific folder in the web server.
Please Help

my $req = HTTP::Request->new(GET => 'http://localhost/dbconnect/instru
+ctions.htm');
$req->header(Accept => "text/html, */*;q=0.1");  my $res = $ua->reques
+t($req);  # Check the outcome of the response
    
        if ($res->is_success) {
        print HTTP $res->content;
    }
    else 
    {
        print LOG $res->status_line, "\n";
    }
