In this tutorial, we will access to a remote server, download image, rename ths image and save to our file system. We will use one function (getImage) and one subroutine (saveImage) to complete this sampel code.
First part of our code, get image byte array from remote server. Second part contains a subroutine that writes byte array to file system.
Lets's put our function and subroutine calls in the beginning of code.
Creating variables
imageUrl = "htp://www.some-domain-name.com/images/target-image.jpg"
strImageName = "new-image.jpg"
Function and subroutine calls
saveImage getImage(imageUrl), strImageName
Here is code library:
Function getImage(strImageUrl)
' Set objHttp = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
' Set objHttp = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
Set objHttp = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")
' Set Http = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest")
objHttp.Open "GET", URL, False
objHttp.Send
getImage = getImageHttp.ResponseBody
End Function
Sub saveImage(ByteArray, strImageName)
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Const adSaveCreateOverWrite = 2
Const adSaveCreateNotExist = 1
Set objBinaryStream = CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
objBinaryStream.Type = adTypeBinary
objBinaryStream.Open
objBinaryStream.Write ByteArray
objBinaryStream.SaveToFile "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetindex.com\images\" & (strImageName), adSaveCreateOverWrite
response.Write("Image has been download and saved!")
end sub
Aim of this article, to be a reference how to download bytes from remote servers. You may use this source code after adding some error controlling to sample code.
