i'm trying to code a program wich downloads a file from the net, but i'm blocked after i've received the data with recv, on how to save it to a file.. (i know it's a silly question, but i can't find anything on google just some random download pages)

should i create an empty file first then write to it in binary mode or there is an another way?

you recv it into a buffer, you use createfile and writefile to dump it to a file

does URLDownloadToFile work in C++?

isn't URLDownloadToFile IE dependant?

Trow · Posted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 4:02 am Post subject:

yes. does anyone now have IE nowadays, e.g. you using windows 95 still or something?

i wouldnt say it is a perfect solution but it seems a lot more straightforward

btw i'm getting
FilesDownloader.cpp urlmon.h: No such file or directory.
and i've already put #include <urlmon.h> and linked to urlmon.lib...

but looks like dev C++ missing the header file

dev-c++'s header files/libraries are old and smelly. If you want to continue using dev-c++ then download the latest things from the mingw website and replace all your files. otherwise, get a better compiler (or do dynamic linking but that's a temporary solution to a permanent problem).

Dev sucks

go with VC++

can dev even compile something that isnt cmd line?

dev doesn't suck, MingW sucks, but most people don't know how/don't bother to set dev up to use a different compiler than MingW.

i'm using dev c++ because i'm connected from an internet point (i'm on holiday) and visual c++ is too big and slow to download :/

well, i'm in a foreign country, i can't speak the local language, and i don't know much the places :/
i haven't got much to do, except homework...

btw updating the windows 32 api headers has deleted getaddrinfo and urlmon is still missing
