API, COM interface to save as

[Rafael Campana]

hi,

I'm looking for an API or COM interface (or something
else) that I can use to save an html file just loaded in
the internet explorer, to my local disk. This is an
effort to automate a task. I'm not able to just retrieve
the file from the webserver directly as the URL is not
static.

I'm open to use PERL, VB or anything else.

Thanks in advance

The files are actually saved to your Internet Cache (with covenants - web
designers can prevent this). IE as you may not know has the File=>Save As
menu option. Internet Explorer has an ExecWb method that can be called to
save the current page to another folder. Visit
http://www.iecustomizer.com/IEButtons/Index.htm .... there you will find a
listing of button scripts with one to save the current document to disk.
There is also a product called IEBooster that does this and more.
