I am trying to download a list of jpg images. I was able to do this for a long time, however my work place has decided to change the web address of the pics. Before I did not have to login to view pics but now I do.
If I use Internet Explorer or Chrome, once logged in to the server, I can view all the pics I want and go straight to the address of any pic. just by changing the name of the jpg file:(https://myworkserver.com/web/Photo/123456.jpg)
For AppInventor, I can save my username and password in html and login using a script with webviewer. However when I use the Web Get I do not get the jpg file to download.
When I use the Web Get, I do get a file to save with the correct name... 123456.jpg However, it is not a jpg file and this is the contents of that file:
<html>
<head>
<META
HTTP-EQUIV="expires" CONTENT="0">
</head>
<body>
<form method="POST"
enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
action="/nidp/idff/sso?id=6&sid=0&option=credential&sid=0"></form>
<script
language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.forms[0].submit();
-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
Can anyone tell me why I'm getting this html back and not the jpg file? Any Suggestions?
I made a simple apk just do demonstrate my problem...

This example shows how to download a file from a password protected area to your device

Thanks Taifun,
I'm looking at this and trying it... But still not having any luck. It maybe the difference of the way the server accepts logins.
I can access your private server, both from the IE and from an App-inventor app. I change the settings to my work server and it does not work. The difference maybe that my work server submits the Username and Password thru a FORM SUBMIT.
I saved the HTML source of my work server login screen and I have created variable in App-Inventor to insert Username and Password in the HTML as VALUE= in the input part of the form. Using this saved HTML, I can use Web-Viewer to log into my work server and view any JPG image in the Photo folder. I wish there was a way to save a file from Web-viewer or create a script in my HTML to save a jpg file to sdcard.
Do you happen to have anymore suggestions?
Thanks for your help!!!
