  • File Invoke-Web.ps1 — part of check-in [58e277f28d] at 2018-06-10 14:00:16 on branch trunk — Powershell 3 & 4 complain about this code having syntax issues. I tried ‘fixing’ it, but I am “stuck” now. I think I fixed the first six, but have one left that I just can’t figure, so I probably made a mistake when trying to fix the first six.

## Get-WebFile (aka wget for PowerShell)
function Invoke-Web {
#.Synopsis
#  Downloads a file or page from the web, or sends web API posts/requests
#.Description
#  Creates an HttpWebRequest to download a web file or post data
#.Example
#  Invoke-Web http://PoshCode.org/PoshCode.psm1
#
#  Downloads the latest version of the PoshCode module to the current directory
#.Example
#  Invoke-Web http://PoshCode.org/PoshCode.psm1 ~\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PoshCode\
#
#  Downloads the latest version of the PoshCode module to the default PoshCode module directory...
#.Example
#  $RssItems = @(([xml](Invoke-Web http://poshcode.org/api/ -passthru)).rss.channel.GetElementsByTagName("item"))
#
#  Returns the most recent items from the PoshCode.org RSS feed
#.Notes
#  History:
#  v4.2  - Fixed bugs when sending content in the body.
#        - Added -ForceBasicAuth to allow client-side to specify Authentication: Basic header.
#  v4.1  - Reworked most of it with PowerShell 3's Invoke-WebRequest as inspiration
#        - Added a bunch of parameters, the ability to do PUTs etc., and session/cookie persistence
#        - Did NOT parse the return code and get you the FORMs the way PowerShell 3 does -- upgrade! ;)
#  v3.12 - Added full help
#  v3.9 - Fixed and replaced the Set-DownloadFlag
#  v3.7 - Removed the Set-DownloadFlag code because it was throwing on Windows 7:
#         "Attempted to read or write protected memory."
#  v3.6.6 Add UserAgent calculation and parameter
#  v3.6.5 Add file-name guessing and cleanup
#  v3.6 - Add -Passthru switch to output TEXT files 
#  v3.5 - Add -Quiet switch to turn off the progress reports ...
#  v3.4 - Add progress report for files which don't report size
#  v3.3 - Add progress report for files which report their size
#  v3.2 - Use the pure Stream object because StreamWriter is based on TextWriter:
#         it was messing up binary files, and making mistakes with extended characters in text
#  v3.1 - Unwrap the filename when it has quotes around it
#  v3   - rewritten completely using HttpWebRequest + HttpWebResponse to figure out the file name, if possible
#  v2   - adds a ton of parsing to make the output pretty
#         added measuring the scripts involved in the command, (uses Tokenizer)
