Hi All,
We have a https link when put in the web browser gives up a pop-up to save a xls file. we can manually save it any folder on our local machine.
Is it possible to automate this using broker. We'll have a fixed location on the server where broker is installed so that the files get saved everyday. I can also devise a trigger mechanism to trigger this flow ever day.
But could we use HTTP input node and achieve this. Has anyone tried/done this before ?
This is slightly insane. It probably could be done if you had a lot of time on your hands.
Either access the data directly if the web site is under your control (and not via a browser / HTTPS protocol - use database / file access).
Or consider using a push/pull mechanism like FTP, or use a scripting language to perform the function you do in a browser, to a schedule - then pull the data in after you have it on your file system.
Probably other approaches - including nice java ones. Just don't choose broker.
