For example, if I have opened an image or a sound file in a new window, clicking "Save As" from the file menu saves the image or sound file. This is what I am trying to do.

Then do something like this or use curl in a shell script


set f to "" & (path to desktop)
tell app "Safari" to set vURL to the URL of the front document
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to "/"
set f to f & vURL's last text item
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
tell app "URL Access Scripting" to download vURL to file f

Hey JD!

Ok, I did this before, I have used wget and curl but does not work. The reason is, some sites have automated or recursive download retrieval protection,
meaning, soon as you download it, there is an ad and the image is not there. http://www.fortunecity.com loves doing this :( If you download it with a browser it works. So, if I could get safari to save the document it is currently viewing, it would work. But right now, this does not work.

Thanks for the input. I don't mean to reject every solution you submit, but I have tried all of these options. I should have given the *list* more information on
what I have tried already. Again, thanks.

Rick
