[solved] Dumb question about InetGetInfo

[snaileater]

Hi all,

i make my first tries with inetgetinfo. i had a look into the InetGetInfo.au3 example which is working fine. i made then a change turning the "in-the background" download into a "not in the background" download.

In that case i always get an error with that function saying the data returned is not an array (as described in the documentation)

Do i forget anything ?

thanks !

Can you show your script ?

It will be more easy to resolve your problem

Here is what i did ... :

Local $hDownload =InetGet("http://www.rtbf.be/classic21/","toto.dat",1,0)
$aData = InetGetInfo($hDownload)
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096,"Classic 21...", "Error...")
Else
    MsgBox(4096,"Classic 21...", "Ok...")
EndIf
InetClose($hDownload)
If IsArray($aData) Then
    MsgBox(0, "Classic 21...", "Array...")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "Classic 21...", "Not an array...")
EndIf
MsgBox(32,"Classic 21...",$aData)

The helpfile explains that, in wait mode (non-background), the return value is the number of bytes downloaded. The handle is only returned in background mode.

(I must admit that I had to read the page a few times before I understood what it said.)

You need new glasses then.

Success: The return value changes depending on if the download is in the background:

Background: A handle is returned. The handle can be used with InetGetInfo(). The handle must be closed with InetClose().

Wait: The number of bytes downloaded.

Also what are you meaning with offline version? Just use the helpfile you get when you install AutoIt.

That's the one i use ... i just meant "not the on-line version" ...

The topic can be closed ... next time i should have a deeper look in the doc (i just didn' read the inetget info "Alex") ...

At least my topic title was right ... it was a dumb question ...

is there a way to tag the topic as "closed" ?

thanks guys !

You can edit the title if you edit the first post (in Full Editor).

Like I said: I thinkt that, while the information in the helpfile is correct, it is a little confusing to read.

I like the way the return values for different StringRegExp modes are expained are better.
