My GETURI software will do this quite easily.

www.bvstools.com/geturi.html

It's as easy as this command (APIs and ILE functions also available):

GETURI URI('www.site.com/path/to/file.pdf') OUTPUT(*STMF)
STMF('/myfiles/file.pdf') SPRHEAD(*YES)

The SPRHEAD option says to suppress headers from the output that is
created so your PDF doesn't get corrupted.

Hello,



A client of us puts new product images on a website and then sents
the URL where we can find this image so that we can retrieve the
image and print it on the boxes.



Is there an API or an easy way that we can DOWNLOAD or RETRIEVE those
images from his website on to our IFS ?



Someting like:

downloadWebImage('www.google.com/image01.jpg', 'myas400/directory');
