InetGet and error codes

Hi,

I was just looking for some hints how InetGet sets @error on errors. And I stumbled over this very old thing:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=29708

Is this still the status quo or could the error codes be usefully documented by now?

See my actual problem:

AutoIt has two http related functions I use here,

HttpSetProxy ( mode [, "proxy:port" [, "username", "password"]] )

InetGet ( "URL" [,"filename" [, reload [, background]]] )

I'm in a network, where the proxy is figured out by a pac script and it works fine with HttpSetProxy. In some parts of the network I can use the proxy without authentication, in some I need to specify a username/password.

The problem is, that Autoit does not open the usual credentials dialog when IE hits a proxy that requieres authentication. So the InetGet just fails without a useful error code. If it would say "Hey, the proxy asks you to specify a username and password", I could ask that from the user, redo HttpSetProxy and try again.

But because I cannot figure that out, the only way would by to ask a username and password in any case, even if it is not needed or even does not fix the problem, as a failure of InetGet could also indicate that the target server is down.

So not a cool user experience :mellow:

I see that InetGet sets @error, but is there a way to figure out from these values that the proxy wants credentials? That would be the only case I would like to diff from all other problems.

Any way?

Cheers,

Hein

I am also interested in this. My inetread does not work for a certain URL on a certain pcs and I have no idea why. It sets @error to 12, but WTH does it mean?

Could it be that URL is too long? Over 2000characters. But server can handle URLs like 8000characters AFAIK and there is no warning or error in /var/log/httpd/error_log, so it must be somehow blocked on a client side. Again different URLs are working on the same pc in the same program using inetread(), but this particular one does not.

Thank you

well what is the reason you answer then? :) Me and HeinMuheck want to know what the @error codes from inetget mean. And I did not say it does not work at all for me. Just one particular URL does not. Sorry but did you read the posts at all? ;)

Sorry but do you relise you resurrected a 3 1/2 year old thread and then proceeded to be impatient and bump it less than 24 hours?

I suggest you provide a reproducible example, that was my point.

Edit: Reason being

Allright so I am sorry I wrote it yesterday and bumped it today. Did not exactly count hours and I apologize for that. But I don't see anything bad on replying to an old thread if the issue is still actual. I think it is better then creating a new post with the same question thus just creating mess in the search results.

JohnOne do you mean these? Unfortunatelly it does not seem to apply here because those codes start at number 12000. This is a real mystery... thank you anyway

EDIT:

Maybe there could be something in @extended yet. Will test...

EDIT2:

inetread @error:12 @extended:122 and an empty string as a result. Does not make me much more clever :-)

EDIT3: this is the URL. I have changed some strings in it because I don't feel like sharing everything with public

As referenced in the OPs post, through the link to another post where Valik explains it, the error codes returned aren't a reference to anything that can be translated to "normal" error codes. They're only there for the developers, they are only shown to the users (us) because the developers wanted the users to know that the function failed, but there is nothing more to be gotten from the error codes other than it failed. At least that is how it was explained 6 years ago in the thread, I'm not sure if it's changed since then but I haven't been able to find anything in the change logs that show that it has changed.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.
