[Scilab-Dev] SEP 88: New functions to get remote files

[Sylvestre Ledru]

Hello,

The attachment describes the SEP #88, targeting Scilab 5.5.0.

The goal of this SEP is to propose the introduction of three new functions:
* getURLcontent - Return the content of an URL (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP...)
Profiles:
filename = getURL(URL [, targetDir [, username [, password]]]]);
filename = getURL(URL [, targetFile [, username [, password]]]]);

* getURL - Download an URL (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP...)
Profile:
output = getURLcontent(URL [, username, [, password]]);

* splitURL - Split a URL (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP...)
Profile:
[proto, server, path, query, username, port, fragment] = splitURL(URL);

Don't hesitate to comment it,
Sylvestre
