Question
Downloading image from external url
Hi All,
I have a requirement where I have a button and when user clicks on that button a image will open in new document which I am able to achieve but I am unable to download the image to local server because these downloaded images will later be used in email attachement.
I have tried to look for out of the box rules for downloading images from external url but no luck.
Can anybody help me here?
Best Regards,
Harsh Soni

CONNECT-HTTP rule may also work for you here ?
(Although I have never used this to capture a BINARY file from the WEB ).
Use the below script in a Auto generated section OR Control.
<script>
function DownloadURL(url)
{
if((navigator.userAgent.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 ) || (!!document.documentMode == true ))
{
var win = window.open("", "FileDownload","width=500,height=400,resizable=yes");
win.document.write('<iframe id="MyFrame" width="100%" height="100%"></iframe>');
win.document.getElementById('MyFrame').src = url;
}
else
{
var a = document.createElement('a');
a.href = url;
a.download = url;
document.body.appendChild(a);
a.click();
document.body.removeChild(a);
}
}
</script>
<html>
<img border="0" src="webwb/pzDownloadIcon.png" title='Download File' width="16" height="16" onclick="DownloadURL('<%=tools.getParamValue("URL")%>')"/>
</html>
Hi
Have you checked the activity Rule-File-Binary.downloadFile ?
You might need to create your own activity and twig the logic of this activity a little in order to access external URL image.
