I'm downloading an archive using the gb.net.curl HttpClient object
Like the code below...
Public hClient As HttpClient
Public hFile As File
Public Sub GetArchive()
Dim sFork As String = "gambas"
Dim sName As String = "gambas-stable.zip"
Dim sZip As String = "https://gitlab.com/gambas/gambas/-/archive/stable" &/ sName
If Message.Question("Download archive?", "Yes", "No") <> 1 Then Return
FMain.MeEnabled(False)
hClient = New HttpClient As "hClient"
hClient.Timeout = 20
hClient.URL = sZip
hFile = Open Parent &/ File.Name(sZip) For Write Create
hClient.Get()
End
Public Sub hClient_Read()
Dim sSize As String, Data As Variant
Dim sTemp As String[]
Read #hClient, Data, -256
Dim iGot As Integer = hClient.Downloaded
If iGot < 1024 Then
sSize = Str(iGot) & " Bytes"
Else If iGot < (1024 * 1024) Then
sSize = Str(iGot / 1024)
If InStr(sSize, ".") Then sSize = sSize[0, InStr(sSize, ".") + 2]
sSize &= " Kilobytes"
Else
sSize = Str(iGot / (1024 * 1024))
If InStr(sSize, ".") Then sSize = sSize[0, InStr(sSize, ".") + 2]
sSize &= " Megabytes"
Endif
Print "Downloading: " & sSize & "\r"
Write #hFile, Data
End
Public Sub hClient_Finished()
Wait 0.1
If hClient Then hClient.Close()
If hFile Then hFile.Close()
Print ("\nDownload Complete.\n")
Wait 0.1
FMain.MeEnabled(True)
FMain.tvComp.Input("cd '" & Parent & "' && unzip -ou " & File.Name(hClient.URL) & "\n")
End
In the _Read() event i can get the download size but i can't find a way to get the file size before downloading.I tried the HttpClient.Head() method but the list of headers did not have Content.Length ?
A bit puzzled.
And help appreciated
