Using HTTP/TCPObjects to download files.

[otto-san]

Because the downloads for Dropbox are on dl.dropbox.com, it seems to cause lots of issues with getting things from it.

I tried tinyURL, but it doesn't allow me to do that.


Any other way I could go about getting a file?

edit:
I've managed to successfully download .zip and .cs files from putting it on my website, however, putting on there is a hassle sometimes, and that would be an issue if I can't keep the site up.


edit2:
Another thing I'm wondering is how I could possibly go about modifying a file on a remote server.

going to dl.dropbox.com is still through http

Modifying files on a remote server would need somethings more than just Blockland code. It wouldn't be to hard to send TCP commands to a php script and do the editing there

An alternative that I have previously used is downloading the file, manipulating it then uploading it again.

It seems having anything like 'www.' or 'forums.' or 'dl.' before the rest of the name doesn't work, how would I do it?


edit:

Sorry, by "modifying", I meant "uploading".

You're not meant to use dropbox for file hosting like you are, they will disable your account.

Okay then, so I definitely shouldn't use it anyways.
