- Thread-topic: getting a file by URL ?
I handled a similar scenario with Python. I can't remember where I got the original code from. This handles all of the examples from this thread, although the TextWrangler example would need some additional processing to be usable.
on URLtoPOSIX(theURL)
try
set posixPath to (do shell script "python -c 'import urllib, urlparse, sys; print urllib.unquote(urlparse.urlparse(sys.argv[1])[2])' " & quoted form of theURL)
on error
set posixPath to ""
end try
return posixPath
end URLtoPOSIX

While trying to follow this topic (very interesting!), I realized that there is something I don't know and need to know: What is the source of the URL, above. What commands were used to get it?
