1. problems downloading file
I am using tcp4u to dl a zip file, and i keep getting this
error when i try to extract using winzip:
warning [F:/path/zips/af.zip]: extra 16497 bytes at beginning
or within Zip file (attempting to process anyway)
Error in file #1: bad Zip file offset (Error local header
signature not found): 0
If i dl the file using IE, winzip has no problems with it.
Here's the code block that gets the bytes from the internet and
appends them to the local copy:
------------------------------------------------------
global function ReadServer() -- interface to tcp4u.ew
sock_receive = ""
sock_receive = tcp4u_receive(sock,50000,0)
if ( length(sock_receive[2]) > 0 ) then return sock_receive[2]
end if
return ""
end function -- readserver
----------------------------------------------------------------
while 1 do
junk = ReadServer()
if match("Content-length",junk) then
junk2 = junk[match("Content-length",junk)..length(junk)]
junk2 = junk2[1..match("\n",junk2)-1]
puts(1,junk2)
junk2 = junk2[16..length(junk2)-1]
junk2 = value(junk2)
neededlen = junk2[2]
end if
if not equal(-1,junk) and not equal("",junk) and not
match(junk,TheWebPage) then
TheWebPage &= junk
readcount = 0
end if
junk2 = sprintf("%2.0f",(length(TheWebPage)/neededlen ) * 100)
if ( match(".",junk2) > 0 ) then
junk2 = junk2[1..match(".",junk2)-1]
end if
titlebar(logurls[urlloop] &
" -- getting -- file length: " &
sprintf("%d",length(TheWebPage)) &
" -- " &
junk2 & "%")
if (readcount > 30) then exit end if -- if we got nothing for
30 seconds, the server has gone poof
sleep(1) -- let the dialup play catch-up
readcount += 1
end while
Can anyone see where the extra 16497 bytes are coming from?
It's the same extra count each and every time i run it on that
one file.
Kat,
puzzled.
