That's good to know. In this case I'm simply downloading zip files and
pdfs, so all I need is the one file with each download.
Here's the handler I'll be using, with handler calls:
set fileToDownload to "https://support.apple.com/fr-fr/HT1582";
set localPath to "/Users/user/myLocalFileName6.html"
DownloadFile(fileToDownload, localPath)
set localPath to "/Users/user/myLocalFileName7.html"
DownloadFile(fileToDownload, localPath)
set localPath to "/Users/user/myLocalFileName8.html"
DownloadFile(fileToDownload, localPath)
on DownloadFile(fileToDownload, localPath)
set fileToDownload to quoted form of fileToDownload
set quotedlocalPath to quoted form of localPath
set downloadShell to "curl " & fileToDownload & " >> " & quotedlocalPath
set shellResult to do shell script downloadShell
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to set localPath to POSIX file
localPath as alias
tell application "Finder" to reveal localPath
return localPath
on error errMsg
return errMsg
end try
end DownloadFile
