[InetGet] - Always @error. was working!

[eHrgo 0]

hi, I have a big script which is based on InetGet Function, today I launched it (I used it for 2 weeks) and it doesn't work any more.

I searched, i create a new little script to test:

InetGet ( 'www.google.fr', 'file.txt', 1)
If @error Then 
    MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
ElseIf
    MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
Endif

I always got the error message now! Wth? Is that working on your computer?

For sure i Checked my connection on IE, working great.

Thanks

I didn't understand what you were trying to DL from the small script you wrote, but I hope this helps

$dl = InetGet ( 'http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/introduction.htm', @ScriptDir&'\file.html', 1, 1)
        If $dl = 0 Then 
            MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
        Else
            MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
        Endif
        
While @InetGetActive
  TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16)
  Sleep(250)
Wend

MsgBox(0, "Bytes read", @InetGetBytesRead)

InetGet ( 'http://www.google.fr', 'file.txt', 1)
If @error Then 
    MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
Else
    MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
Endif

No, what you specifically wrote doesn't work. If you're just asking about the @error, yes that works.

If @error Then 
            MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
        Else
            MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
        Endif

Also,

The URL parameter should be in the form "http://www.somesite.com/path/file.html"

- Straight out of the manual.

JdeB pointed this out too.

Ok guys, I did a mistake with my example but in fact I have that:

InetGet ( 'https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi', 'file.txt', 1 )
        If @error Then
            MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
        Else
            MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
        Endif

That worked for 1 month and now it doesn't work anymore.

Edit: Straight from the manual: The InetGet function works with http:// https:// and ftp:// -

Hum ... i tried everything, every links, working on every filetype: This code isn't working ...

InetGet ( 'https://ssl.rapidshare.com/cgi-bin/premiumzone.cgi', 'file.txt', 1 )
        If @error Then
            MsgBox (0, '', 'failed')
        Else
            MsgBox (0, '', 'Suceed')
        Endif

CAn someone else confirm that its working ?

That exact script is working on my end. That's really odd it's not working on your end. I wish someone knew why that might be, especially since your net connection is working and the site is functional.

Do you have the right DLL installed on this PC?

[JohnBailey 1]

Smoke_N, interesting! What dll would that be?

[eHrgo 0]

This scripted worked for 1 month, I reboot my computer ... doesn't work anymore. No change!!! Its not working compiled.

Well, there's obviously an issue with your computer then, not the script, if you were running a compiled version of it before, and now that compiled version isn't working on your computer any longer, then it's something you've done, not the script itself.

[SmOke_N 209]

Smoke_N, interesting! What dll would that be?

wininet.dll

[JohnBailey 1]

Cool thanks Smoke_N for the name of the dll

eHrgo, have you tried just using wrapper (F5 in Scite)?

[eHrgo 0]

Got it .... Only this site is giving me an error, only CGIs files from this site.

Maybe your shitlisted there or something...

Try removing ie's cookies and get a new ip (reconnect if yours id dynamic)

[eHrgo 0]

Arg... not working, im gonna try with my other computer on the same local network.

[eHrgo 0]

Hum.... still weird problem:

Yesterday, it worked back..few hours later, same error.

I tried to use proxy > error, tried to delete IE cookies/cache /etc.. >error.

I tried on a different computer on the same router -> Working!

How can they identify me if its not with IP or cookies? And why can i view the page on IE and i can't download it with Inetget?

Thanks a lot

As an alternative to inetget you could try curl
