InetGet problem with downloading mysql installation file

[DelStone]

Hi all

I've tried to download the mysql installation file using

$file_to_get = "http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-5.5.21.0.msi/from/http://mirrors.dedipower.com/www.mysql.com/"
InetGet($file_to_get, $file_to_save,1 ,0)

However it refuses to dowload - any thoughts why?

i suggest you learn how to debug code.

Start with reading the console output in scite, i assume that an error is showed there and also why the error happened.

$sURL = "http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-5.5.21.0.msi/from/http://mirrors.dedipower.com/www.mysql.com/"
$iSize = InetGetSize($sURL)
$hInet = InetGet($sURL,@ScriptDir & "mysql-installer-5.5.21.0.msi",1,1)
ProgressOn("Download","mysql-installer-5.5.21.0.msi")
$Init = TimerInit()
Do
    $Read = InetGetInfo($hInet,0)
    ProgressSet($Read*100/$iSize,"Download: " & Round($Read/1024,2) & " kb" & @CRLF & _
    "Average speed: " & Round(($Read/1024)/(TimerDiff($Init)/1000),2) & " kb/s")
    Sleep(1000)
Until InetGetInfo($hInet,2)
ProgressOff()
InetClose($hInet)

qsek - there is no error reported - it runs fine, returns 0 as the filesize and does not download anything

andreik - your code too does not download any file. If I enter the url into a broswer it downloads the install file - if I use inetget it does not download anything...

[Andreik]

You must jokes, I tried the code before share it. I think is some problem with your system but the code is correct, I tried again and is still working fine.

Use @error to see if you get any error.

You provided this code:

$file_to_get = "http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQLInstaller/mysql-installer-5.5.21.0.msi/from/http://mirrors.dedipower.com/www.mysql.com/"
InetGet($file_to_get, $file_to_save,1 ,0)

which obviously uses $file_to_save without being declared.

So if you dont use another code as above you will get an error.

However if i use a proper string as filename the code runs fine and the file is downloaded.

If it doesnt work for you, it could be either your firewall blocking connection or folder privileges that prevent the file from being created.

Hi Andreik

Thanks for your update - I've looked at @error and it contains 0 - I've run the above code on two machines, XP and Windows 7 and same result on both... I'm not sure why you get it to work and it does not download anything for me...

I don't believe it - it's just started to work! I've not done anything to the code which I tried before which wasn't working - freaky! But thanks guys - much appreciated...
