how to download an image
I'm trying to download an image to a file but it's always 0kb
Here's an example of the URL I've got //
s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169240/grilled_cheese_on_plate.jpg
*put* URL ("binfile:" & tNewImageLink) into URL ("binfile:" & tNewFolder &
"/" & tNewImageName)
*get* url tNewImageLink
*put* it into URL ("binfile:" & tNewFolder & "/" & tNewImageName)

Re: how to download an image
Remove the first "binfile" usage, so your code reads like this:
put URL tNewImageLink into URL ("binfile:" & tNewFolder & "/" &
tNewImageName)
I used the following to test download to the desktop and it works as
expected:
put
"http://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169240/gri
lled_cheese_on_plate.jpg" into theURL
put url theURL into url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("desktop") &
"/DLimage.jpg")

Re: how to download an image
That gives me a 375b corrupted file. So that's progress.

Re: how to download an image
Scott’s routine worked for me too. It’s worth checking where the spaces and
returns there are in his test, I had to edit it from the email version. I also
just tested in the multiline message box. For testing in a button, in LiveCode
8, you have to declare the variable as well. This was the whole button script:
on mouseUp
local theURL
put
"http://s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169240/grilled_cheese_on_plate.jpg";
into theURL
put url theURL into url ("binfile:" & specialFolderPath("desktop") &
"/DLimage.jpg")
end mouseUp

Re: how to download an image
I got bubble.is to send the base64 encoded image data instead of a link. So
just putting the base64decoded data into URL is working.

Re: how to download an image
Hokay, so, apparently post is a blocking command, which is a bad idea for
multiple potentially large files. So I'm trying to use this, but it's still
downloading 1kb files.
*put* "https:" & tImgUrl into tImgUrl
*set* itemdelimiter to "/"
*put* item -1 of tImgUrl into tImgName
*set* itemdelimiter to comma
*put* tNewFolder & "/" & tImgName into tNewFile
libURLDownloadToFile tImgUrl,tNewFile

First of all, you're conflating 'post' and 'downloading' which is muchly confusing. I assume that tImgUrl starts with "//" at the start of this code. Otherwise you'll need to add it after the "https:" prefix. And don't you want a callback message to make it asynchronous?

Re: how to download an image
Yeah, I've got a list of URLs like the one in the first message //s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169 240/grilled_cheese_on_plate.jpg I'm trying to download the images from AWS to a folder. Previously I couldn't get "put URL into binfile" to work (0kb files) so I tried downloading the base64 encoded image data instead. That required using get/post, which is blocking. Blocking is bad. So I tried getting the URL instead so I can use libURLDownloadToFile instead. I'm getting the same 0kb file problem.

Re: how to download an image
I dunno. Here's what I just did and it loaded the image with no problems. All 97,183 bytes worth. Do you have write permission to the folder you're downloading to? on mouseUp local tImgUrl local tImgName local tNewFile constant tNewFolder="/home/mwieder/Desktop" put "//s3.amazonaws.com/appforest_uf/f1496548544475x140387106221169240/grilled_cheese_on_plate.jpg" into tImgUrl put "https:" & tImgUrl into tImgUrl set itemdelimiter to "/" put item -1 of tImgUrl into tImgName set itemdelimiter to comma put tNewFolder & "/" & tImgName into tNewFile libURLDownloadToFile tImgUrl,tNewFile, "finished" end mouseUp on finished answer "All Done" end finished -- Mark Wieder ahsoftw...@gmail.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: how to download an image
Just following up for posterity. The livecode team figured out that setting the httpheaders to empty solved the problem, or at least part of it. I was setting them to connect to the API that sends the link for the image. Now setting them to empty before trying to download the image partly works. It works for "put url"; the image file shows up and isn't corrupted. It hasn't worked for libURLdownloadToFile; the image file doesn't show up.
