File download with RTC

My earlier post on File Download used the responsestream property of WinHTTP. On my latest project I needed to use Windows Authentication on my website and found out that I needed to create the WinHTTP automation on client level to login with the current user. This also means that I cannot use built in streaming functions to download the file. Instead I used ADOStream function to download the file and in the example that follows I am saving the file to the temporary directory for the current user.
[code htmlscript=”false”]DownloadFile(URL : Text[1024]) FileName : Text[1024]
IF ISCLEAR(WinHTTP) THEN
CREATE(WinHTTP,TRUE,TRUE);

WinHTTP.open(‘GET’,URL,FALSE);
WinHTTP.send(”);

IF WinHTTP.status <> 200 THEN
ERROR(Text023,WinHTTP.status,WinHTTP.statusText);

FileName := WinHTTP.getResponseHeader(‘Content-Disposition’);
IF STRPOS(FileName,’filename=’) = 0 THEN
FileName := ”
ELSE BEGIN
FileName := COPYSTR(FileName,STRPOS(FileName,’filename=’) + 10);
IF ISCLEAR(ADOStream) THEN
CREATE(ADOStream,TRUE,TRUE);

IF ADOStream.State = 1 THEN
ADOStream.Close;

ADOStream.Type := 1; // adVarBinary
ADOStream.Open;
ADOStream.Write(WinHTTP.responseBody);

IF ISCLEAR(FileSystem) THEN
CREATE(FileSystem,TRUE,TRUE);

FileFolder := FileSystem.GetSpecialFolder(2);
FilePath := FileFolder.Path;
ADOStream.SaveToFile(FilePath + ‘\’ + FileName,2);
FileName := FilePath + ‘\’ + FileName;

ADOStream.Close;
END;

CLEAR(WinHTTP);[/code]
Where my variables are
