Downloading files by WebRequest is not working
Gustavo Hennemann:
Loading a DLL with WebRequest() is very suspicious, independently of any bug in your code or usage of FileClose.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to download some files by WebRequest(). The code works well to some kind of files, but when I try to download DLLs the function FileClose() clears the content of the file.
It's very clear, FileOpen() creates a file with size 0kB, then FileWriteArray() fills up the file with the expected size, and FileClose() changes the size to 0kB again.
What is happening?
Thanks

Hi @Alain Verleyen,
In reality I'm trying to convert BMP images into PNG. MQL5 has no resources to do this, so, I'm downloading a DLL to do the job automatically.
