[Simple?] Zip download failing...

[jasonvogel]

I can go to the page: http://stashbox.org/v/202688/blackglass.zip

Click on the link: http://www.stashbox.org/202688/blackglass.zip

and I get the file..

 

I put the URL: http://www.stashbox.org/202688/blackglass.zip in Ketarin and I get "The downloaded file is not a binary file type (text/html; charset=UTF-8). Possibly there is an error page. Status code: 200 (OK) (http://www.stashbox.org/202688/blackglass.zip)"

 

Any ideas?

Well, the link goes not to the actual file but to the download page. What else would you expect ?

[andreone]

The link goes to the download page the first time.

The second time, it's the file.

Cleanup your cookies: the link goes to the download page.

 

There's something with the cookie, but I don't know what.

You're right. If you paste the "direct" link in... http://www.stashbox.org/202688/blackglass.zip, it routes you to http://www.stashbox.org/v/202688/blackglass.zip BUT ONLY if you haven't been to the page before. I didn't notice the different behavior until switching browsers. Good catch.

 

So I would have thought pasting "http://www.stashbox.org/v/202688/blackglass.zip" into the "before command" execute window would 'trick' the cookie into being written, but it doesn't. Any ideas?

Yep, same error here.

Why not to use the direct link, the one you get with a cookie ?

Sounds good, but I don't know how. What should the Keratin syntax be?

 

There are 3 cookies for me from stashbox:

Hmm, it seems like the link is http://stashbox.org/202688/blackglass.zip but it still won't work without the cookie. And it seems Ketarin doesn't support cookies.

I tried creating a dummy variable which should load the page (to create a cookie) and then when the actual download starts the cookie will be present and the actual file will be returned but with no avail.

[jasonvogel]

Yeah, I think we all ended up in the same place. I opened this as an enhancement request. Thanks for all the research support.

The next version will allow downloading from this location. The number of retries should be 2 at minimum though, since the first attempt only stores the cookie.

[CybTekSol]

The next version will allow downloading from this location.

Do I understand this correctly Flo... cookie support in the next version? Wooohooo! I bristle with anticipation!

Nothing big, just the most basic stuff.
