morphe2011 Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 13, 2015 #1 Hello All A client has produced a wonderful api which works great . Most of the api is standard stuff that Job.GetString can handle. However at one point the stream is a zipped file . How do I get it and and save it as a zip so that I can open it and use it's contents? Most Thanks for any help.

There is a library to read and write zip files, can't remember the name of it now, but do a search and you should be able to find it. Cheers, Walter Upvote 0

morphe2011 Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 13, 2015 #3 Walter Thank you for the reply. I use the MLfiles library for reading and writing and it works great. My issue is in saving the file as it comes in as a file rather than a string. Normally I use FTP to download files but this data is very sensitive so that is not an option. Writing as a string produces an invalid zip and yes I'm already testing for Job.Success This is a sample of code: Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob) Dim sResults As String If Job.JobName="hBook" Then sResults=Job.GetString iBo=Job.GetInputStream File.WriteString(ed.sAppPath,"test.zip",sResults) Return End If End sub Richard Upvote 0

morphe2011 Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 13, 2015 #5 Manfred Thank you for the link. I've looked at it before and it is a great library however I'm either brain farting or it's the first signs of dementia (probably the latter) . B4a is and has been great. I can figure out 98% on my own but on this one I'm drawing a blank. If it was ASP.net or VB.net I'd know how to proceed. Please see my reply to Walter. Any help or direction would be most appreciated. Upvote 0

In your JobDone inside job.success Use Code: Copy OutStream = File.OpenOutput(ed.sAppPath, "test.zip", False) File. Copy2(Job.GetInputStream,OutStream) ' save the file OutStream.Close to save the job-result to a file Upvote 0
