inetc problem with one URL
Hi everybody (my first post here :) )

I was a lurker up to now and found most answers in this forum but not this time.

inetc download doesn´t work for me with one URL.
my code is:

inetc::get "http://www.foobar2000.org/getcomponent/f804b3d3834e96355a501d92334ec8a1/00efa1b008ad3d8bf9de6790a8cac868/foo_playcount.zip" "$PLUGINSDIR\STAT.zip" /end
Pop $0 ;Get the return value

MessageBox MB_OK "Download status: $0"


The download starts, status is "OK" but the file is only 4kb (normally 82kb) and is corrupt (can´t be extracted).

Using this URL in Firefox or so works without a problem.

I had used the built-in NSISdl before and got the error "server does not specify content length", that´s why I switched to inetc, and maybe that´s the problem here, too.

Hope anybody can help, because here I don´t know what to do more...

btw. have tried InetLoad also without success.

Your server not specifies Content-length header for fixed-size file and not sends Transfer-encoding: chunked. Probably situation is confusing for WinInet.dll
And I could not download file using FF 3.6 - default foobar2000 page appears. And small file content which I could download using Inetc looked like http header, not zip file.

hmm, strange other URLs from this site behave the same way...

so, no chance to solve this?

found out, what it is. The URL changes every day and mine was from yesterday. If I use the current one it works (at least today ;) )

so I have to extract the URL from the html first, not nice.

Thanks for help and sorry for inconveniences.
