I'm also seeing strange results on Windows.
At first it seemed like random quantities of data were being received, but now
it seems "stable" and consistently receives 207169 bytes of data (out of
1079427).
Some stranger stuff...
I tried to trace what was happening in libUrl. (edit script of button
"revLibUrl" of stack "revLibrary")
In the libUrl script there is a handler named ulDoProcessLength. The start of
this handler looks like this, except for the two "DEBUG" lines I added. If you
uncomment these, they will output into a field that you can set with
libUrlSetLogField.
on ulDoProcessLength x,y
local tStatus
##normal http case
if y <> empty then
ulStoreData laUrl[x],y
add length(y) to laReadBytes[laUrl[x]]
//ulLogIt laReadBytes[laUrl[x]] & "," & length(y) & cr //DEBUG 1 -ADDED
BY ME
end if
if laReadBytes[laUrl[x]] >= laLength[laUrl[x]] then
put "true" into laStatus[laUrl[x]]
//ulLogIt laReadBytes[laUrl[x]] & ", " & laLength[laUrl[x]] & "," &
length(y) & cr //DEBUG 2 - ADDED BY ME
if char 1 of laStatusCode[laUrl[x]] = 2 then ##in 200 range--OK
if laFile[laUrl[x]] is empty then
put "cached" into tStatus
else
put "downloaded" into tStatus
end if
If I uncomment the first DEBUG line, all the data gets downloaded. This seems
to be consistent. Not sure what this means, but at a guess, I'd say the short
time used to log the data is allowing LC to read properly from the socket.
But stranger still...
If I uncomment the second debug line (and comment the first one), it outputs
this in the log field:
207169, 1079427,1440
Given the condition in the "if" line, this should be impossible.
Maybe I've had too much sherry over the holiday, so if someone would like to
try and see if they see the same it would be interesting.
One question, Chipp. Is there anything in the data that might "upset" LC and
therefore cause stange comparison results?
Cheers
Dave
