How to download multiples files with UrlLoader?

plicatibu · December 2019

I'm trying to adapt UrlLoader example to download multiple files.

My problem is that when I try to download next file it interrupts the previous one.

I tried to start next downloads from onComplete handler but I'm making some sily mistske because it is not working.

As I failed to fix it I duplicated the sampke code 3 timed to download all files I wanted to.

Any advice id very much appreciated.

Thanks.

FilesLoader = Core.class(UrlLoader, function(url,method,headers,body) return nil end)
 
function FilesLoader:init(url, files)
	self.url = url
	self.files = files
	self.currentFileInd = 1
	self.currentFile = ""
	self.maxFiles = #self.files
 
	self:addEventListener(Event.ERROR, self.error, self)
	self:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, self.complete, self)
end
 
function FilesLoader:message(str, ...)
	print(("[FilesLoader]: "..str):format(...))
end
 
function FilesLoader:error()
	self:message("Error while loading file \"%s\"", self.currentFile)
end
 
function FilesLoader:complete(event)
	local out = io.open("|D|"..self.currentFile, "wb")
	out:write(event.data)
	out:close()
	self:message("Finished loading \"%s\"", self.currentFile)
	if (self.currentFileInd <= self.maxFiles) then 
		self:start()
	else
		self:message("All downloads finished.")
	end
end
 
function FilesLoader:start()
	self.currentFile = self.files[self.currentFileInd]
	self:message("Loading file \"%s\"...", self.currentFile)
	self:load(self.url .. self.currentFile)
	self.currentFileInd += 1
end
 
local url = "<a href="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MultiPain/Gideros_BluredShape/master/&quot" rel="nofollow">https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MultiPain/Gideros_BluredShape/master/&quot</a>;
local file_list = { "main.lua", "GShape.lua", "ShapeRender.lua", "init.lua" }
 
local loader = FilesLoader.new(url, file_list)
loader:start()

P.S. For some reason forum engine adds "< a >" tag to url

Safe to remove it.

@rrraptor super cool man

plicatibu · December 2019

@rrraptor Thank you so much. That's what I wanted.

MoKaLux · December 2019

@rrraptor can I put it in the wiki?

rrraptor · December 2019

@MoKaLux you can, but I think its not needed. Existing 2 examples is more than enough to understand how it works. Also, this line can be a bit confusing for newbies:

FilesLoader = Core.class(UrlLoader, function(url,method,headers,body) return nil end)

Personally I dont like big examples, they must be small.

I agree, the examples should be short.

But you can make a link under the examples-
For more advanced examples.

@rrraptor @oleg I understand your point. I like short examples too but I also like fully fledged classes

that make our life so much easy.
~~I can add it where @oleg mentioned (advanced example) if I can make it work on my side first .~~

@rrraptor I made a project using your code.

For some reason, when I try to download files from unsafe URLs (http) everything works fine, but for https URLs it always failed.

I tried 5 different https URLs. When I try to access them directly in my browser I see the file but when I put the URL in script, it doesn't.

For example:

-- XPTO://www.mozilla.org/media/protocol/img/logos/firefox/browser/logo-sm.f2523d97cbe0.png
local url = "XPTO://www.mozilla.org/media/protocol/img/logos/firefox/browser/";
local file_list = { "logo-sm.f2523d97cbe0.png"}

Any idea what may be the problem? I'm using Gideros Player in Windows 10.

Thanks

PS: I replaced https by XPTO to avoid the anchor tag.

@plicatibu I have the same question -> http://forum.giderosmobile.com/discussion/7941/get-image-by-url#latest

It seems UrlLoader dos not handle HTTPS protocol.

Are you using windows and ssl isn't working in the player? If so, copy the contents of this rar file to your install folder:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/y8ixf3d03ygf29t/extra_ssl.rar?dl=0

plicatibu · December 2019

Now it worked like a charm.

Thank you.

SinisterSoft · December 2019

I don't think we can distribute those files officially with the main build. Not sure exactly why.

Is that still works? I cant get it to work again...

SinisterSoft · November 2020

ssl still works for me - at least the last time I tried.

rrraptor · November 2020

@SinisterSoft

local loader = UrlLoader.new("https:".."//picsum.photos/v2/list")
loader:addEventListener(Event.ERROR, function() print("error") end)
loader:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, function() print("done") end)
loader:addEventListener(Event.PROGRESS, function(e) print(e.bytesLoaded,e.bytesTotal) end)

Does not work for me...

Is this on Windows? If so have you copied the files into the program files/gideros/ folder, etc? They get erased with each fresh update of Gideros.

Yes

Yeap, but not into "Program files"

It is in gideros installation folder.

jimlev · January 2022

I didn't achieved to make it works for me.
I installed the 2 .dll in the 2 folders (root folder of Gideros and also in 'Templates/Qt/WindowsDesktopTemplate/'). Then I restarted the Gideros editor and windows player but with no success.
The json I try to load still can't be reached on his httpS host.

I Usually takes the dll from "Win32 OpenSSL v1.1.1m Light" package available there: https://slproweb.com/products/Win32OpenSSL.html

SinisterSoft · January 2022

These are the dll files for the 32 and (future) 64 bit Gideros, in the correct folder structure, so you can unzip the contents directly:

Works fine with https requests
