dwnl

Post by oldman »

Does anyone know if dwnl is a built-in command of the ReactOS command interpreter?

I have seen it in a script for ReactOS; it appears to do a down load from an URL.

I have not got ReactOS installed on a computer, so cannot find out from the OS.

"dwnl" is an external program, not built in the cmd.exe interpreter.
Source code is in https://github.com/reactos/reactos/tree ... twork/dwnl ; on an installed ReactOS system it goes into the systemroot's "system32" directory.

Thanks for the reply.

So it is availlable to be called from a script! Then that is OK.

dwnl seems to be just a basic down loader. From doing some testing, I find that it cannot handle https, only http.

If it should handle https URLs, then this is what I get for http then https.

dwnl running from the commandline in Windows XP pro sp3
