Posted: 11/19/07 23:08:56 no matter what I do I can not get an HTTP/FTP client to download correctly and update the progress bar. I would like for someone to give a good example via post back on this forum of how to do such. I would like it to use a dmd compiler zip download as a download so that forces us to ftp. I need to know so I can continue D Installer In D. Any help would be appreciated and help that follows that above would be super/great/Word meaning something better than apreciated. Lester L.

If it doesn't work I'll let you see how I did it. I would just post the source to all the downloader part that I created but I started over imediately after it didn't work. Lester L.

HTTP download works but ftp doesn't; I need ftp help. this is the test file named download_test.d import dinstaller.downloader; import tango.io.Console; int main() { http_ftp_download n = new http_ftp_download(); n.download("http://downloads.dsource.org/", "projects//tango//0.99.3//tango-0.99.3-bin-win32-dmd.1.023.zip", "C:\\tango-0.99.3-bin-win32-dmd.1.023.zip"); Cout("finished tango").flush; n.download("http://ftp.digitalmars.com/", "dmd.1.011.zip", "C://dmd.1.011.zip"); Cout("finished dmd"); return 0; } this is the class file containing the downloader named downloader.d import tango.net.ftp.FtpClient?; import tango.net.http.HttpClient?; import tango.net.http.HttpHeaders?; import tango.text.Util; import tango.io.File; import tango.io.Console; import Integer = tango.text.convert.Integer; public class http_ftp_download { char[] file_placement; int downloaded; void download(char[] host, char[] file_path, char[] path_to_place) { file_placement = path_to_place; if(containsPattern(host, "ftp")) { do_ftp_download(host, file_path); } else do_http_download(host ~ file_path); } void do_ftp_download(char[] host, char[] file_path) { auto ftpc = new FTPConnection(host, "user"," pass", 21); ftpc.get(host ~ file_path, file_placement, null, FtpFormat?.image); } void do_http_download(char[] file) { auto httpc = new HttpClient?(HttpClient?.Get, file); httpc.open(); if(httpc.isResponseOK) { auto length = httpc.getResponseHeaders.getInt(HttpHeader?.ContentLength?, uint.max); httpc.read(&http_file_writer, length); } httpc.close(); } void http_file_writer(void[] content) { downloaded += content.length; Cout(Integer.toUtf8(downloaded)).newline; Cout.flush; File f = new File(file_placement); f.append(content); } } this is the error you get from tango on ftp tango.core.Exception.AddressException?: Unable to resolve host 'http://ftp.digitalmars.com/' why doesn't this work.
