Hi folks.
I've boiled down a much more complex script to this, which is not working.
Any ideas why?
set scratch to (new file)
set u to "http://brennan.young.net";
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
(download u to scratch with replacing and progress)
end tell
It chokes on the download line complaining that 'some data was the wrong
type', but I can't see what that might be. The 'to' parameter should be a
file spec, and that's what's returned by 'new file'. All the other
parameters are constants.
Help!
