Async ReceiveHTTPFile - File size?

[jacky]

Hi!

I want to download a larger file (100 MB+) from github via

Code: Select all

ReceiveHTTPFile(url, file, #PB_HTTP_Asynchronous)

in a thread and update the progress bar in the main window via

Code: Select all

PostEvent()

Is there a way to get the size of the bytes currently downloaded + the full size of the file to update the progress bar correctly?

I guess I'm too blind today

Thanks,
jacky

I think you have to do a HTTPRequest() with #PB_HTTP_HeadersOnly first.
Then check the content-length.

Thanks infratec!

I've solved the problem getting the correct size of the file to download via HTTPRequest().
A single FindString() isn't enough because the file is stored on Amazon AWS (and not directly on github) and a redirection takes place so the header contains two "Content-Length:" matches.

But I still don't know how to get the current already downloaded size in bytes. Any ideas?

Thanks again,
jacky

HTTPProgress()

Rückgabewert

Der Status des Downloads. Dies kann die aktuelle Anzahl empfangener Bytes sein, oder einer der folgenden Werte:

It returns the already received bytes. (never used it)

Args. Shame on me!

Problem solved (it really contains the received bytes)...

Thanks again!
