Unhandled exception when reading variable from local file

[kazso]

When i add a variable to an application, which is part of the download URL (for example https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/{version}/win32/en-US/Firefox Setup {version}.exe) or the filename (for example d:\Firefox {version}.exe), and the variable is read from a local file, then canceling a file download (update or force download) will result in an unhandled exception error:

I get the same error with Ketarin 1.8.10.15 and 1.8.11 Beta.

These are the steps to recreate this error (using Firefox as an example):

1. Create a text file (c:\firefoxversion.txt) and write a version number into it (68.0).
2. Create a new application in Ketarin (Firefox), and add a version variable to it. Change the type to Content from URL (Regular Expression), add the path to the text file into Contents from URL (c:\firefoxversion.txt), and add [\d\.]+ as the regular expression.
3. Add the download URL: https://download-installer.cdn.mozilla.net/pub/firefox/releases/{version}/win32/en-US/Firefox Setup {version}.exe
4. Add a path to Save in folder (c:\).
5. Update (or force download) this application.
6. Cancel during the download.

I uploaded firefoxversion.txt and firefox.xml. To test this, import firefox.xml into Ketarin and copy firefoxversion.txt to c:\.

firefoxversion.txt firefox.xml

Interesting, seems a bit like a bug in the .NET Framework maybe. Will catch the exception anyway to prevent an error from occurring.

Do you get the error if you use an actual file: URL such as "file:///C:/path/firefoxversion.txt" ?

I get the same error with the file: URL.
