Martin Zugec Posted September 14, 2011 Report Share Posted September 14, 2011 Hi, I have noticed this issue today with Ketarin - it doesn't trap remote server error 304. 304 should mean that the requested resource haven't changed (message for Ketarin - update not required), but in this case Ketarin will report it as an error. I've seen this with TeamViewer (static URL http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe) Thanks, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi, Martin, A server status code of 304 isn't an "error", it's an HTTP status response code. In this case, it's intended to help reduce the amount of bandwidth wasted downloading files that haven't changed. I tested with a couple of my profiles where I can access the server logs and it doesn't look like Ketarin is actually sending an ETag or If-Modified-Since header. That means that it simply can't receive a 304 response. Anyway...I'm not seeing this behavior. Can you share the profile you're using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Zugec Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hi Shawn, yes, I know that 304 is not an error, that's why I mention it as a bug (that Ketarin handles 304 as an error, while it's not an error). If Ketarin doesn't send IMS or ETag, than it's very strange behavior. <?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?> <Jobs> <ApplicationJob xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" Guid="fc22d59f-87f8-48b6-b233-19905c6fa8de"> <WebsiteUrl /> <UserAgent /> <UserNotes /> <LastFileSize>4147624</LastFileSize> <LastFileDate>2011-08-23T09:26:44.8217993</LastFileDate> <IgnoreFileInformation>false</IgnoreFileInformation> <DownloadBeta>Default</DownloadBeta> <DownloadDate xsi:nil="true" /> <CheckForUpdatesOnly>false</CheckForUpdatesOnly> <VariableChangeIndicator /> <CanBeShared>true</CanBeShared> <ShareApplication>false</ShareApplication> <ExclusiveDownload>false</ExclusiveDownload> <HttpReferer /> <SetupInstructions /> <Variables /> <ExecuteCommand /> <ExecutePreCommand /> <ExecuteCommandType>Batch</ExecuteCommandType> <ExecutePreCommandType>Batch</ExecutePreCommandType> <Category /> <SourceType>FixedUrl</SourceType> <PreviousLocation>C:\Data\Tools\TeamViewer\TeamViewer_Setup.exe</PreviousLocation> <DeletePreviousFile>false</DeletePreviousFile> <Enabled>true</Enabled> <FileHippoId /> <LastUpdated>2011-08-23T09:26:44.8217993</LastUpdated> <TargetPath>{Tools}\TeamViewer\</TargetPath> <FixedDownloadUrl>http://www.teamviewer.com/download/TeamViewer_Setup.exe</FixedDownloadUrl> <Name>TeamViewer</Name> </ApplicationJob> </Jobs> Thanks, Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Please paste app profiles in 'code' blocks so that nothing is reformatted by the forum software. Testing this now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawn Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 This is pretty much what I used to test - a generic download URL to a consistent file. Ketarin is NOT sending the ETag or If-Modified-Since headers, so it's NOT receiving a 3xx response, but a 200 with the Content-Length and Last-Modified values that enable Ketarin to check it's db and discontinue the download if it's the same as what's coming down the wire. Simplest terms: while storing and sending the ETag or IMS would definitely be "best behavior", Ketarin is not doing that (see Updater.cs @ DoDownload), so it's not getting a 3xx response.

Martin Zugec Posted September 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hmmmm, strange thing - I wanted to grab a screenshot, so I've just tried it again and now it works (I've been trying it for last 3 days). But it was definitely 304 (Not Modified) and not a 200 (I've copied&pasted the "Not Modified" status message and haven't seen 304 before, so I was interested in it) - if it will happen again, I will post a screenshot here.

floele Posted October 1, 2011 Report Share Posted October 1, 2011 Ketarin is NOT sending the ETag or If-Modified-Since headers, so it's NOT receiving a 3xx response, but a 200 with the Content-Length and Last-Modified values that enable Ketarin to check it's db and discontinue the download if it's the same as what's coming down the wire. Yep. A 304 should be considered as error for now, as in this case Ketarin doesn't get access to the desired content and download would fail if the file is not yet present.
