You can use %Net.HttpRequest to do that.

Something along these lines will work (of course you should checks for errors etc...):

USER>s request=##class(%Net.HttpRequest).%New()

USER>d request.Get("http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST/ECMA-404.pdf")

USER>s file=##class(%FileBinaryStream).%New()

USER>d file.LinkToFile("/Users/kazamatzuri/temp/test.pdf")

USER>d file.CopyFrom(request.HttpResponse.Data)

USER>w file.%Close()

USER>

That was very helpful. Thanks. I just now have to add in code to check the file structure and create a new directory if it does not exist to place the PDF in.

Hi!

Thanks for your code, but I tried it and can't get a file in the directory in the end. In order to get it working, I had to call the method %Save() before the %Close() one:

...
d file.CopyFrom(request.HttpResponse.Data)
d file.%Save()
w file.%Close()

I found that by this article by @Gevorg Arutiunian: https://community.intersystems.com/post/save-file-using-nethttprequest
