InetGet bug?

[j0kky]

Hi guys,

I have the last version of Autoit and Windows 7, if I execute this testing script:

expandcollapse popup

#include <InetConstants.au3>

ConsoleWrite("WAIT TEST" & @CRLF & @CRLF)
$name = @TempDir & "\filetransfer" & Random(100, 999, 1)
$hInet = InetGet("http://www.google.com", $name, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADWAIT)
$nSize = FileGetSize($name)
ConsoleWrite("SUCCESS" & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Number of bytes: " & $hInet & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Size of the file: " & $nSize & @CRLF)
FileDelete($name)

$name = @TempDir & "\filetransfer" & Random(100, 999, 1)
$hInet = InetGet("http://www.google.xxx", $name, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADWAIT) ;wrong URL
$nSize = FileGetSize($name)
ConsoleWrite("FAILURE" & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Number of bytes: " & $hInet & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Size of the file: " & $nSize & @CRLF)
FileDelete($name)

ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "BACKGROUND TEST" & @CRLF & @CRLF)
$name = @TempDir & "\filetransfer" & Random(100, 999, 1)
$hInet = InetGet("http://www.google.com", $name, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADBACKGROUND)
$sAnwser = IsHWnd($hInet) ? "Yes" : "No"
Sleep(5000)
$nSize = FileGetSize($name)
ConsoleWrite('SUCCESS with sleep' & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Handle: " & $hInet & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Is really an handle? " & $sAnwser & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Size of the file: " & $nSize & @CRLF)
FileDelete($name)

$name = @TempDir & "\filetransfer" & Random(100, 999, 1)
$hInet = InetGet("http://www.google.com", $name, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADBACKGROUND)
$sAnwser = IsHWnd($hInet) ? "Yes" : "No"
$nSize = FileGetSize($name)
ConsoleWrite('SUCCESS with no sleep' & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Handle: " & $hInet & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Is really an handle? " & $sAnwser & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Size of the file: " & $nSize & @CRLF)
FileDelete($name)

$name = @TempDir & "\filetransfer" & Random(100, 999, 1)
$hInet = InetGet("http://www.google.xxx", $name, $INET_FORCERELOAD, $INET_DOWNLOADBACKGROUND) ;wrong url
$sAnwser = IsHWnd($hInet) ? "Yes" : "No"
$nSize = FileGetSize($name)
ConsoleWrite('FAILURE' & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Handle: " & $hInet & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Is really an handle? " & $sAnwser & @CRLF & _
        @TAB & "Size of the file: " & $nSize & @CRLF)
FileDelete($name)

I obtain this output:

WAIT TEST

SUCCESS
    Number of bytes: 19163
    Size of the file: 19163
FAILURE
    Number of bytes: 0
    Size of the file: 0

BACKGROUND TEST

SUCCESS with sleep
    Handle: 3
    Is really an handle? No
    Size of the file: 19163
SUCCESS with no sleep
    Handle: 4
    Is really an handle? No
    Size of the file: 0
FAILURE
    Handle: 5
    Is really an handle? No
    Size of the file: 0

According to Help File, using InetGet with $INET_DOWNLOADBACKGROUND flag, I should get an handle for InetGetInfo function... but instead of it I get a number which seems the current number of downloads (the same that I get if I call InetGetInfo with no arguments).

Does it happens with your operative system and Autoit version too?

The "handle" you get is the internal AutoIt id number, not a windows handle from what I can tell.

Cool, it works with InetGetInfo anyway
