downloading file.... only large files?

[Jakys]

i have *made* an app downloading any file from internet...
but it wont download small files... i have downloaded zipfiles on 120k etc, but when i am downloading a simple textfile on 108 bytes, i get trouble...

it simply wont download the hole file only half of it.... but larger files work correctly...

anybody out there who knows whats wrong?
(the textfile i want to download is the one which is "default" in the program)

I just looked at your code, and it's really hard to understand whats going on where you are dealing with byte arrays in the DataArrival event.

If you are downloading a file of length 108 bytes, this should ALL be contained in the first chunk of data recieved in the DataArrival event... So there might be a problem with your parsing algorithm

Why not hold the data which you get in the Winsock_DataArrival event in a string? This will make it A LOT easier to parse header info. from.

Also, you don't need to send all the header fields your sending at the moment. A header such as the following should work:

"GET *MYURI* HTTP/1.0" & Vbcrlf & Vbcrlf

Hope this helps

well, im not the one making the code

but thats the only code i have found on downloading a file which actually works !

but do you have a better code?

Hi,
Try using the InternetReadFile function from the "Wininet.dll" API.

If you need an example, let me know.
