inetget not working?

[mattfaust]

InetGet("http://www.mozilla.org", "C:\foo.html")
InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com", "C:\mydownload.htm", 1)
InetGet("ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/README", "README.txt", 1)
; Advanced example - downloading in the background
;InetGet("http://www.nowhere.com/somelargefile.exe", "test.exe", 1, 1)

While @InetGetActive
  TrayTip("Downloading", "Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead, 10, 16)
  Sleep(250)
Wend

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

this is the help file, it does not work on my machine, yes i am online.

whats up?

The one that runs in the background is commented out, so the While loop is never true and doesn't run.

This worked for me:

InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/autoit-v3.2.9.1-beta-setup.exe", "C:\Temp\AIBeta.exe", 1, 1)

While @InetGetActive
    ToolTip("Downloading Bytes = " & @InetGetBytesRead)
    Sleep(250)
    ToolTip("")
WEnd

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

Bigger file, and ToolTips update better than TrayTips for me.

all i get whenever I try a Inetget is a return of -1, which is a failure.

I can stick the URL in firefox and the file displays fine.

why would firefox be able to access the file but not Inetget?

Firefox may have proxy/network configs that you don't have setup for InetGet.

naa, nothing special. no proxy in use.

it HAS to be something with my machines config however, if it works for everyone else.

thanks for the effort, Im stumped.

i have 3 network interfaces, ethernet, wifi, and hamachi

Do i need to define which interface to use anywhere?

How about trying InetGetSize or Ping and see what @error is returned.

Inetgetsize works!, this is crazy

I'm visiting the forum for the same reason. I find that InetGet fails, but only on some AutoItScript.com pages (others work normally). Try the test script below. The first two pages return zero, the next two return 1.

CODE

;; InetGet not working on some AutoIt web pages:

$i1 = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com", @TempDir & "\junk-test1.txt", 1, 0)

$i2 = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml", @TempDir & "\junk-test2.txt", 1, 0)

$i3 = InetGet("http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/", @TempDir & "\junk-test3.txt", 1, 0)

$i4 = InetGet("http://www.mozilla.org", @TempDir & "\foo.html")

MsgBox(4096, "InetGet Results", _

"InetGet Results (0 means InetGet failed)" &@LF&@LF& _

"$i1 = " & $i1 & " for http://www.autoitscript.com, " &@LF&@LF& _

"$i2 = " & $i2 & " for http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/downloads.shtml" &@LF&@LF& _

"$i3 = " & $i3 & " for http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/files/beta/autoit/" &@LF&@LF& _

"$i4 = " & $i4 & " for http://www.mozilla.org" _

)

Exit

Could you all report the version number of AutoIt you are using?

I have tested the script posted by @phillip123adams and can verify that it seems to have problems with the two first entries.

If the script is changed to use _InetGetSource it seems to work as expected.

I have tested with Autoit-v3.2.3.0.

[phillip123adams]

Could you all report the version number of AutoIt you are using?

I ran the test under v3.2.8.1.

I don't know which, but not too many versions ago, InetGet did work on all AutoItScript sites. If needed, I could install some older versions to see when it quit working.

[phillip123adams]

This issue has been resolved. InetGet is working again on the AutoIt pages. It appears to have been a problem with the AutoIt web pages themselves as I'm still using version 3.2.8.1 and I can get the pages that failed earlier. More at http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.ph...&hl=Inetget
