InetGetInfo

Returns detailed data for a handle returned from InetGet().

InetGetInfo ( [handle [, index = -1]] )

Parameters

handle [optional] A handle return from InetGet().
index [optional] The index for the data to retrieve. If this value is -1 an array containing all of the below data will be returned.
    $INET_DOWNLOADREAD (0) - Bytes read so far (this is updated while the download progresses).
    $INET_DOWNLOADSIZE (1) - The size of the download in bytes (this may not always be present).
    $INET_DOWNLOADCOMPLETE (2) - Set to True if the download is complete, False if the download is still ongoing.
    $INET_DOWNLOADSUCCESS (3) - True if the download was successful. If this is False then the next data member will be non-zero.
    $INET_DOWNLOADERROR (4) - The error value for the download. The value itself is arbitrary. Testing that the value is non-zero is sufficient for determining if an error occurred.
    $INET_DOWNLOADEXTENDED (5) - The extended value for the download. The value is arbitrary and is primarily only useful to the AutoIt developers.

Constants are defined in InetConstants.au3.

Return Value

Success: the request data.
Failure: Empty string and sets the @error flag to non-zero.

Remarks

If called with no arguments then the total number of active downloads will be returned.

This function can be called in a loop to query the number of bytes download or to pause until a download is complete.
