InetGet problem

[JerryD]

I have the following code which I originally developed in the production version of AutoIt (3.1.1.0) and worked, correctly changing the $Online variable to zero when a server was off line:

Dim $TestURLs[6]
$TestURLs[0] = 5
$TestURLs[1] = 'http://pcdm.intuit.com/index.html'
$TestURLs[2] = 'https://pasacty02.intuit.com/'
$TestURLs[3] = 'https://proauth.intuit.com/'
$TestURLs[4] = 'http://pcdm.intuit.com/index.html'
$TestURLs[5] = 'http://protaxpatch05.quicken.com/index.htm'

$OnLine = 1

For $i = 1 to $TestURLs[0]
    While FileExists ( @TempDir & '\ProSeries05Test.txt' )
        FileDelete ( @TempDir & '\ProSeries05Test.txt' )
        Sleep ( 500 )
    WEnd
    $Ret = InetGet ( $TestURLs[$i], @TempDir & '\ProSeries05Test.txt', 1 )
    MsgBox ( 0, $TestURLs[$i], 'Returned: ' & $Ret, 1 )
    If $Ret = 0 Then
        $OnLine = 0
    EndIf
Next
    While FileExists ( @TempDir & '\ProSeries05Test.txt' )
        FileDelete ( @TempDir & '\ProSeries05Test.txt' )
        Sleep ( 500 )
    WEnd
MsgBox ( 0, 'Online Status:', $OnLine )

When I tried it under the current Beta version (3.1.1.131 and earlier Betas), the two URL's without an HTML page fail even when the servers are available. The servers can't be pinged.

Any ideas would be appreciated since I may need to use some Beta functions in the script in the near future.

Thanks.

I don't have an answer for you on what might have changed, but is it only a coincidence that the two not working are also the only two SSL https URLs?

The last one returns 0 as well (at least sometimes...)

I guess the beta implements better checks on the HTTP server results (i.E. if the server returns HTTP Code "200 OK", or something else). The https:// links and the last link all create an error, as directory browsing is either not allowed (https://) or the URL is not available (last one).

If you check @error after InetGet() you will see that the function sometimes returns an errorvalue of 10. Unfortunately the error codes are not documented for InetGet(). You should open a bug report for this.

From his first post: "The servers can't be pinged."

Ah... somebody had the same problem and wrote HTTP UDF. I guess this is the solution for your problems: http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...c=29631&hl=

EDIT: Oh, wait. It's only for HTTP not for HTTPS.

I've re-posted this to the v3 Bug Reports forum:

Please use the link above to reply.

And no, the servers are not PINGable.

I used curl for Windows in a project, because curl returns very detailed error codes. http://curl.haxx.se/download.html. Run curl.exe with RunWait() and use it's error codes and error messages to determine if the download was successfull.
