Autoseek Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Hi, ok, >digging this out. I got this to work for me. Would someone be able to point me into the right direction for understanding the error handling of $oxmlhttp.Open ("GET", $url2, False)? It is my understanding that this is the major part of the retrieval, and if the retrieval does not work, I would like to understand why I have looked here, https://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/intro/ComRef.htm, under "COM Error Handling", but I am not getting an error when trying to download (for provoking an error) from a non-existing location. Perhaps I am not even doing something meaningful, when trying to catch an error of $oxmlhttp.Open, but I am afraid that I am lacking too many basics here to find out. If anybody can suggest the error handling here, that would make me very happy Cheers Autoseek
Jfish Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 (edited) I would first test to make sure you object is creating correctly (that is an old example you are using). I use : dim $winHttpReq = ObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") ; create an instance of the winhttp object See the help file for how to test if you are creating the object properly (I modified it a bit ... untested): If Not @error Then MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ObjCreate Test", "ObjCreate() successful !") Else MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "ObjCreate Test", "Failed to create Object. Error code: " & Hex(@error, 8)) EndIf Also, if you are just trying to get a file - you should look at the InetGet function.

Autoseek Posted November 22, 2014 Author Posted November 22, 2014 Hi, Thank you for that "pointer on the side" to the InetGet function. I have rewritten everything based on InetGet and the examples provided there. It works smoothly. Great! Cheers Autoseek
water Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Adding this lines of code at the top of your script will grab all COM errors (if any) and display them in a separate window: #include <Debug.au3> _DebugSetup() _DebugCOMError() My UDFs and Tutorials: Spoiler UDFs: Active Directory (NEW 2024-07-28 - Version 1.6.3.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki ExcelChart (2017-07-21 - Version 0.4.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts OutlookEX (2021-11-16 - Version 1.7.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki OutlookEX_GUI (2021-04-13 - Version 1.4.0.0) - Download Outlook Tools (2019-07-22 - Version 0.6.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki PowerPoint (2021-08-31 - Version 1.5.0.0) - Download - General Help & Support - Example Scripts - Wiki Task Scheduler (2022-07-28 - Version 1.6.0.1) - Download - General Help & Support - Wiki Standard UDFs: Excel - Example Scripts - Wiki Word - Wiki Tutorials: ADO - Wiki WebDriver - Wiki
