Thanks. But, what is it? A collection of templates submitted by the community?

Thanks Necrox. What's the online database?

The one Necrox shared with me also worked fine until the site offered a redirect to mediafire, which didn't work and why I came back here. I'm not sure how often for how long they point to Mediafire instead? I'll do some monitoring. I'm still not getting any emails when my posts are replied to, and I believe I have all my settings correct. Is anyone else getting emails?

Old thread of mine ... but I still have no idea about using POST with Ketarin, nor how to tell if it is really being leveraged in the webpage to bother trying with it. Is this a good example to use? https://getonetastic.com/downloadFile&fv=0&file=OnetasticInstaller.x86.zip Go to the above link, agree to the license terms, the click the download button. Everything I've tried so far gives me a message from Ketarin "file is not binary..." If this is a good example, please give step by step on how to evaluate and construct the Ketarin entry?

Sorry for delay, I didn't get any notification that you had replied (notify is turned on...) Thanks I will give yours a go. Does it handle the redirect to mediafire? Because that's what broke the one I had, it stopped as soon as the url changed to mediafire.

Necrox helped get it working for me, but it stopped working with the next update of Free File Sync. I tried to use search here to find my old post but keep getting the following page: A configuration or server error has occurred Sorry, there is a problem Something went wrong. Please try again. Error code: EX0 Anyway, Can someone help with Free File Sync again? This is the download page: https://www.freefilesync.org/download.php I'm looking to scrape and download the first one - Windows Setup file. Thank you for any help (again).

I'll give your way a try too, thank you Ambimind!

Thank you so much necrox. I have used the Web Console (that's how I find the 'get' request information showing the 302 file moved info), but I have never used the Network Monitor tool. The quick video tutorial you made is perfect, and I look forward to peering further into that tool. BTW. I *thought* I followed your (first) instructions to a "T" because it worked great! Ha. I went back just now to change the referer per your recommendation above, and saw I never populated it. So I downloaded the file successfully without a referer! That doesn't seem like it should have worked. Maybe because I had already been downloading from the site via web browser and it was cached? (Not sure what Ketarin shares with the system or default browser.) Since I delete the garbage out of the browsers frequently, chances are next time there is an update Ketarin will try to download when browsers are clean and I haven't visited the page. If it fails I'll populate the referer as above and try again. Thank you again for your time and effort not only to solve this one but to help me learn to help myself. Give a man fish, he eats for a day; teach a man to fish and he'll eat for as long as the same kind of bait works :-) I'm always in the market to learn new Ketarin bait. Kind regards.

I think that's right, too. Thank you!

Thank you for the very detailed reply, necrox! I will give it a go. Can you offer any step by step, or at least some tips and hints, on how you worked this out, for n00bie :-) I thought it might be something like this, but examining the page it didn't suggest to me. N00bie... Thank you for any education if you have time.

Thanks Shawn for confirming what I suspected with windows clipboard. Which Regex engine is Ketarin using? .Net or ?

Trying to get the Windows Setup package from this page: http://www.freefilesync.org/download.php When I download the file with web browser, this is what I see: GET http://www.freefilesync.org/download/FreeFileSync_8.10_Windows_Setup.exe [HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily 187ms] GET http://www.mediafire.com/file/bw49xxy2n4i9fhr/FreeFileSync_8.10_Windows_Setup.exe [HTTP/1.1 302 Found 250ms] GET http://download1259.mediafire.com/5qcrsrmlm45g/bw49xxy2n4i9fhr/FreeFileSync_8.10_Windows_Setup.exe [HTTP/1.1 200 OK 15079ms] Is there a way to capture the moved URL with Ketarin to download it?

Using Ketarin 1.8.7. I hope someone can help to explain what I'm seeing. First, please look at this example: 1. Create ketarin variable "vers", load this URL: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download 2. Regex: release notes.*?<strong>.*?v(.{1,10})\n This (today) populates "vers" with 5.28.6005 Note the linefeed match. Now, copy/paste the page source directly from the Ketarin window into a hex editor or other editor that can visualize carriage returns and linefeeds. When I paste this source into EditPad Pro (my usual editor) and display it hex mode, what follows the 5.28.6005 in the source is a x0D x0A - carriage return/linefeed. I am assuming Ketarin is correct and the source really is LF/CR. Or is Ketarin mis-interpreting the source? I've not had any problem in the past with EditPad Pro showing terminators incorrectly, it supports all the variations, but I'll try another hex editor anyway. Assuming for the moment that EditPad Pro isn't at fault here either, could windows be converting the terminators in the clipboard to standard windows CR/LF sequence? I'm using Win 10 Pro. Thoughts?

I have same issue, also not able to download registered versions from Just Great Software, mine is EditPadPro and RegExBuddy. Haven't been able to download either one using Ketarin since Jan G. changed his site some months back. Using Ketarin now only to check for new version.

Ressurecting an old thread... For some time now, first time download using textual content variable {f:yyyy}{f:MM}{f:dd} for 'vers' column shows 16001231. When download ends, still shows 16001231. I also use 'vers' variable in downloaded filename, and the downloaded filename has the correct file date as part of the name. Request a force download and 'vers' column temporarily changes to show correct date during the download. When download is complete 'vers' column again shows 16001231. The downloaded filename still has correct file date as part of the name. Possible to fix the display in Ketarin to show the correct file date?

Hi necrox Is the URL above still the latest testing Ketarin version? Or is Flo hiding a newer racier version somewhere for us :-) Kind regards, --appyface

I just tried Necrox's URL above and I still get "you do not have permission" error Looking for latest Ketarin beta/RC Would be great to have a pinned/sticky locked to posting except from Flo for info and download URLs as new ones are available (replaces missing FTP page) Thank you --appyface

Thanks again necrox, that should help - especially pinning the thread. Would still be very nice if we could get back the FTP folder page of all available releases including the betas and RC's again.

Thank you, necrox. (to whom it may concern) Are we not going to have a downloads page again?

Still no downloads page...? The main Ketarin site page shows latest version is 1.6.0.434 my Ketarin (about) shows 1.6.1.434 Where to download latest beta/testing builds?

Same here, not able to get to the all-versions download page any longer. Will this be fixed?

Could substitution value for global variables be shown in the logfile? Thanks and regards, --appyface

@Tomorrow Thanks I see now that POST won't work there either... I don't know offhand of another example that might actually work with POST in Ketarin, but I'll look around for one I'm interested in. If the codeplex stuff of shawn's that you mention qualifies, let's use that.

I don't feel anyone is trying to make me look stupid, nor do I care if they do. I'm just trying to keep all respondents ON TOPIC, which is frustratingly difficult in this forum sometimes. No one here has asked you to make a tutorial to fix a windshield by showing you a flat tire. I asked about a tutorial using POST with this particular site. And, after some pain it was finally revealed that Ketarin cannot be configured to use POST with that form successfully, I asked that we use THAT case for a tutorial. To me it is just as useful to be able to evaluate what cannot work, as well as evaluate what can. The working example in the forum that you recall, is the very same one I referred to in my opening post in this thread -- and sadly it was the Java JDE and JDK before Sun-now-Oracle changed the site around to the present and confounding methods of serving files. However, I believe Tomorrow gave you one a few posts back -- have a look? Thank you for the time you put into your post and you have given some good information. But it will take me some effort to work through it and translate it into the beginnings of some step-by-step tutorials. And, I have no expectation for generalized one-size-fits-all tutorials, I believe there is value in documenting ANY example. It can always be prefaced with the caveat that there are many possible scenarios of which this tutorial covers only one, and is meant to illustrate some idea of how one might go about looking at this stuff and setting it up in Ketarin.

@shawn You keep using 'not required', which says to me that POST is possible, just not a must. I think you must really mean to say 'not possible to use POST on this form with Ketarin', instead of 'not required'? I'll state my request again: I'm looking for a tutorial on how to evaluate that a form does use POST and then how to use POST in Ketarin to get the file. Equally valid tutorial is what I asked Flo up above: If the form shows POST (as this one does) but Ketarin really can't do POST with it, what is the process I would go through to learn that is the case? I will write both tutorials myself IF I can just get some solid and basic step-by-step information here so I can learn what to do with these things. But so far none of that coming in this thread, just bashing me over the head about things that are 'pointless' and 'not required', none of which is helpful to those goals. How about we now make some positive progress toward both situations?
