IE control: check download completed

[frank10]

I made a script with IE.au3 to download some files from a server with authentication.

After a file is downloaded, I want to rename and move it, so I need to check when it is fully downloaded.

I tried Inetget()  (also with "http://user:pass@www...") but it can't download the files. They are in the form of:

http://www.********.com/download/lowres/XYcCdn2x80E3VHW2UM2z/

With _IeNavigate() that link works. But I can't get when it has finished to download.

How could I do?

BTW:

In explorer I see also the icon file changes when finished.

have a look at the function  InetGetInfo( ... , 2) with parameter 2

maybe >this post can help you

Thank you PincoPanco, but InetGet  doesn't work at all. So I can't check it with InetGetInfo.

I think the problem is I have that link in the web page:

http://www.********.com/download/lowres/XYcCdn2x80E3VHW2UM2z/

but it refers to the real link (I found it with a download manager), that is:

http://clips.******.com/music/50001-8.wav

 

So the first one does nothing with InetGet, while it does with _IENavigate.

if you pass the first url to IE, then, in turn,  is your final new url again in IE?
if so, maybe  you could try to get the target url with _IEPropertyGet(....,"locationURL")

and then pass that url to InetGet(), for example something like this:

_IeNavigate($oIE, "first url")

$TargetURL = _IEPropertyGet($oIE,"locationURL") ; should give the target url

InetGet($TargetURL, @ScriptDir & "\destination")

otherwise try to locate your target url with the _IELinkGetCollection() function ....

I tried to use a mix of InetgetSource and IENavigate.

InetGetsource only works in an embedded environment, I think because of authentication session (?) (In every case I tried also the user:pass@ method that doesn't work).

With an IECreateEmbedded I get the file download, but it appears a dialog to confirm the download and the destination directory.

How can I disable that dialogs?

In the normal IE I don't get them because of a download accelerator, but in the autoit embedded I get them...

No, when I make IENavigate with the first URL, I get directly the download dialog: I don't get any second URL.

I discovered the second URL only looking at the property in a download accelerator that intercepts the download request made in IE.

 

BTW:

In IE, without the download accelerator, I get also a dialog box at the bottom of the page. I can't disable it. Do you know how to do it? I use IE 9.0.8

Another option: use WinHTTP to log on to the site and retrieve the file.

For now, I solved the IE issue using an external download accelerator with its window: when finished the download, it closes the window, so I check the existance of the window and get it.

Anyway I'm not satisfied with this, I think I'll rewrite the code with Firefox FF.au3: it has a lot of options, such as javascript disable, read Html without images, download control... It's far superior control. Internet Explorer (not the au3 udf) is very disappointing...

Eventually also GMK approach could be interesting, thank you.
