I cannot find the WebClient class. There needs to be a way to insert login information.

Remember you are talking with a beginner here.

Can someone please post a working snippet of code?

To install WebClient:

Installer ss project: 'WebClient'; install: 'WebClient-Core'.

To fetch something (username and password will be asked if and when needed):

response := WebClient httpGet: 'http://example.com'.

If you want to specify the username and password beforehand and have no interaction (no asking for username/passord if the specified ones are incorrect):

client := WebClient new. client authParams: (Dictionary new at: #username put: 'your username here'; at: #password put: 'your password here'; yourself). response := client httpGet: 'http://example.com'.

In both cases 'response' will be a WebResponse object. You can check if your request was successful:

response isSuccess.

or get the response code:

response code.

or get the content of the response (if it exists):

response content.

Greetings,

I am looking for classes and code snippets to download a statement from my mutual fund company.

It would have to login, submit the password and then download from a link.

Does anyone have code that does this?

Sincerely,

Joe.

Hi Joe,

Have a look at WebClient httpGet: 'http://yourAddress.com/yourLinkToDownload'

It handles everything you need.

All the best,

Ron Teitelbaum
