Template request - SPB

[Martin Zugec]

Hi guys,

 

not sure whether this is best forum, but could you try to help me out?

 

I got stuck at SPB (http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/mobileshell/download.html). Download is initialized by buttons (Download CAB, I Agree etc), not sure whether there is even way how to solve this using Ketarin

 

Thanks for any help,

 

Martin

Hi Martin,

 

I'm not sure what your template idea is, but that file has a HIDDEN URL. I'm currently not aware of a workaround for that, =( but the solution, I think, is to find a good third-party URL Finder, just like DonationCoder URL Snooper (that uncovers hidden media urls behind javascript or activex scripts). Only then Ketarin would be able to handle those download links...

Wouldn't it be easier to just, you know, click the link and save the URL it uses to DL the file ?

[FranciscoR]

Yes it would be easier =), usually I copy link location, but in this case you get

 

[h]404 - Not Found[/h]

 

How ?

Yeah, looks like they generate a link per session. I think you if it would be possible to POST the download.html with relevant data you would be able to get the link. But I don't think that's possible from inside the Ketarin.

[FranciscoR]

It's a dead-end then. But do you know a way to find hidden links ? A lot of sites use this to prevent direct downloads...

[Stalker]

Nope, I don't. Judging from HTML code though this is not the case this time.

[FranciscoR]

What is then ? Nothing on html, css, javascript... I have no idea how to solve this.

Why don't you provide us a direct DL link for this file, so we can see it can actually be done ???

[CybTekSol]

They are using a PHP session ID (unique for each session) that is the problem... I would imagine this is one of the issues that will have to be addressed by Florian in the future of Ketarin as it seems more and more sites are using this technique to thwart direct downloads... possibly due to ad revenue. It seems we'll have to live with it for now.

I can't provide the direct link which will work all the time. As I said it's automatically generated based on session ID. You need to do a little programming to get the link.

[FranciscoR]

Thank you both, looks like this is a misplaced new feature request. =)

OK, the purpose of my question was only to get your confirmation.

Whyle trying to write a "regex bundle" for my Total Commander template, I've had some problems with this site, that also doesn't have DL url in source. It employs a similar PHP technique, in this case activated with a onclick "switch",

 

<input type="button" class="form_btn2" value="download" onclick="pobierz(1)"/>

 

with

 

function pobierz(nr) {

 

if(nr==1) {

 

document.forms.download.action="/gets.php?serwer=1"

 

} else {

 

document.forms.download.action="/gets.php?serwer=2"

 

}

 

document.forms.download.submit();

 

This is the same problem, right ? Although final url is http://mirror1.bloodman.one.pl/????/filename.zip, this problem has nothing to do with 403 errors, does it ? Maybe Flo wants to check it.

I believe that the basic problem is that you can't use post variables with Ketarin currently.
