[Solved] File Downloading through Browser, but not Script

[hunte922]

Edit: The solution! Maybe?

 

I need to download an image from a website using AutoIt but the download, when viewed in a text editor, does not appear to be the same as if I had downloaded it from a web browser.

Could anyone help me figure out why this is happening?

I've already tried _INetGetSource, InetGet, _IENavigate, wget, this, and a few .bat and .vbs scripts.

 

Example Code:

#include <Inet.au3>
Local $source = _INetGetSource("http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a")
Local $newfile = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & "\test.txt", 2)
FileWrite($newfile, $source)
FileClose($newfile)

Image URL: http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a

Screenshot attached.

I have same result on both from Autoit and Browser (Text Editor Notepade++)

I got some bizarre results, until i used binary mode flag in fileopen.

$sReturn = BinaryToString(InetRead("http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a", 8))
$hFile = FileOpen("test.png", 2+16)
FileWrite($hFile, $sReturn)
FileClose($hFile)

this works for me anyways

I just ran the script again and I am still getting the same results. Screenshot attached when viewing the downloaded file in Notepad++.

That code gives me the same incorrect result.

Maybe your cache?

$sReturn = InetRead("http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a", 8+1)
$hFile = FileOpen("test.png", 2+16)
FileWrite($hFile, $sReturn)
FileClose($hFile)

All i did was add the flag INET_FORCERELOAD

I've just tested my script on another pc, no problems there either.

Tried your new code. No changes.

Have you tried it on the latest version of AutoIt?

Just tried

 and it still gave me the same incorrect result.

I was able to replicate your bug. But now it seems i can't undo it ^^'

Maybe it's a result of too many requests i a short time-span to the AmazonS3 server.

It's not the first time I've had an issue like that...

I will try running the script when i wake up and let you know

[hunte922]

Found something that works. Let's hope it stays that way...

RunWait('powershell.exe & { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a" -OutFile "text.txt" }')

Hello. What's wrong with this way?

InetGet("http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a","test.txt")

Saludos

So i tried again just now, and it works fine again. The error seems to be related to too many server request within a time-frame. So i would suggest checking the downloaded file for a valid image-format and if not wait at least 1hour before trying again.

Please try this

HttpSetUserAgent("Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1)")
$sReturn = BinaryToString(InetRead("http://c0.rbxcdn.com/0db36a45eae4838667ae9a46ba0c082a", 8))
$hFile = FileOpen("test.png", 2+16)
FileWrite($hFile, $sReturn)
FileClose($hFile)

Edit
10 times downloaded and still working

I ran my test codes at least 100times in under 1 hour before it started getting weird with the results.

I got it to work. The link to the solution is in the original post.
