I download an audio file from a webpage each day and would like to automate
the process.
I can use the following script to get the audio file to play on a web page
but I want to download the file instead of playing it.
tell application "Safari"
activate
if not (exists document 1) then
make new document at the beginning of documents
end if
set the URL of the front document to
"
http://www.archive.org/download/dn2004-0716/dn2004-0716-1_64kb.mp3";
end tell
Basically, I want to save the file as if I control clicked on the url and
selected the 'Download linked file as ...' command
If anyone can point me in the right direction on this, I would appreciate
it.
Thanks.
