retrieving the body of a HTTP Get request

nirtzur · 27th October 2011, 13:07

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to perform a HTTP Get request from an NSIS installer, and placing the result in some field on my screen.

I've tried to do that with inetc::get, I was able to retrieve the response (OK) by popping it out of the stack, but I can't get the response body, or the headers for the matter.

Is there a way to issue a HTTP Get request, and retrieve the response into NSIS?

Thanks

You download as a file and then read the file with FileRead.
