InetGet Question

[Aleks]

From what I've read in the function documentation, it seems like you should be able to access password protected sites with InetGet using the syntax:

InetGet("user:pass@site.com", "file")

However, this does not seem to work for me in Vista.

I noted that IE 7 dropped support for this syntax in its own URLs. Could this be why this isn't working for me?

Does anyone have any fixes or workarounds?

There are other ways, are you sure the syntax is correct? If you were to go to your browser paste the path in does it work?

Is it possible to show us your code?

Maybe also check out http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=77503.

Cheers,

It does work if I paste it into a browser like firefox, but not IE.

My syntax is:

$ds_user_pass = "user:password"
$host = "server.ischool.washington.edu"
$hostpath = ":60443/computers/get/entry?id="
$macaddr = "some-mac-address"
$servername = "https://" & $ds_user_pass & $host
$url = $servername & $host_path & $macaddr
$saveLocation = "some path"
InetGet($url, $saveLocation)

Of course that is not the exact code, there are some procedures that run in between which populate the variables. I have it print the $url to a msg box before I try to InetGet, and the url ends up correct. However, the function always returns 0.

What does this return?

$ds_user_pass = "user:password"
$host = "server.ischool.washington.edu"
$host_path = ":60443/computers/get/entry?id="
$macaddr = "some-mac-address"
$servername = "https://" & $ds_user_pass & $host
$url = $servername & $host_path & $macaddr
$saveLocation = "some path"
MsgBox (0, "", $url)

I think you will see your problem. Also $host_path didn't exist initially (your script defined $hostpathso) I changed it to be correct...

I see what you mean, but it is because I copied the code from my script incorrectly. Here is what I really had:

$ds_user_pass = "user:password@"
$host = "server.ischool.washington.edu"
$host_path = ":60443/computers/get/entry?id="
$macaddr = "some-mac-address"
$servername = "https://" & $ds_user_pass & $host
$url = $servername & $host_path & $macaddr
$saveLocation = "some path"
InetGet($url, $saveLocation)

I'm 99% sure there isn't anything wrong with the URL, because I've used a msgbox to look at it before it gets passed to InetGet.

[BrettF]

Well I'm not sure then. 100% sure the username and passwords are correct?

Try looking in example scripts for other methods.
