This method must be called from a scrapeable file before the file is scraped. Do not call this method from a script which is invoked by other means such as after an extractor pattern match or from within another script.
It is preferable to use downloadFile; however, at times you may have to send POST parameters in order to access a file. If that is the case, you would use this method.
This method cannot save local file requests to another location.
Examples
Save requested file
// In script called "Before file is scraped"
// When the current file is requested it will be saved to the
// local file system as "sample.pdf".
scrapeableFile.saveFileOnRequest( "C:/downloaded_files/sample.pdf" );
// When the current file is requested it will be saved to the
// local file system as "sample.pdf".
scrapeableFile.saveFileOnRequest( "C:/downloaded_files/sample.pdf" );
