Download files

You can download zip files from Adobe Connect to a user’s local computer. A zip file is a SCO. To download it, you need to construct a download URL to the zip file, which looks like this:

http://server-domain/url-path/output/url-path.zip?download=zip

You probably already know the domain name of your server (such as example.com ). If you do not, you can get it by calling sco-shortcuts .

Download a zip file from the server

Call sco-shortcuts :

https://example.com/api/xml?action=sco-shortcuts

Extract any domain-name value from the response:
```
http://example.com
```
Call sco-info with the sco-id of the zip file:
```
https://example.com/api/xml?action=sco-info&sco-id=2006258747
```
The SCO is the entire zip file.

Parse the response for the url-path element:

<sco account-id="624520" disabled="" display-seq="0" folder-id="624522" 
        icon="folder" lang="en" max-retries="" sco-id="2006258747"  
        source-sco-id="" type="folder" version="1"> 
    <date-created>2006-04-18T10:21:47.020-07:00</date-created>  
    <date-modified>2006-04-18T10:21:47.020-07:00</date-modified>  
    <name>joy@acme.com</name>  
    <url-path>/f124567890/</url-path>  
</sco>

Construct the download URL, for example:
```
https://example.com/quiz/output/quiz.zip?download=zip
```
Be sure to remove the trailing slash from the url-path value before adding .zip to it (so you have a value like / quiz.zip , not /quiz/.zip ).
