Downloads an HTTP resource from the specified URL to a file.
```lua
http.download(url, file, { options })
```
### Parameters ###
`url` is the URL to be downloaded.
`file` is the destination file that will be written to.
`options` is a [table of options](http-options-table.md) used for this HTTP request.
### Return Values ###
There are two return values.
```lua
result_str, response_code = http.download(url, file, { options })
```
* `result_str` is set to "OK" if successful or contains a description of the failure.
* `result_code` is the HTTP [result code](http://www.w3.org/Protocols/rfc2616/rfc2616-sec10.html) of the download.
### Examples ###
```lua
local result_str, response_code = http.download("http://example.com/file.zip", "file.zip")
```
```lua
function progress(total, current)
local ratio = current / total;
ratio = math.min(math.max(ratio, 0), 1);
local percent = math.floor(ratio * 100);
print("Download progress (" .. percent .. "%/100%)")
end
local result_str, response_code = http.download("http://example.com/file.zip", "file.zip", {
progress = progress,
headers = { "From: Premake", "Referer: Premake" },
userpwd = "username:password"
})
```
### Backward compatible function signature ###
The previous signature of this function was
```lua
http.download(url, file, progress, headers)
```
and continues to be supported. This is equivalent to
```lua
http.download(url, file, { progress = progress, headers = headers })
```
### Availability ###
Premake 5.0 or later.
