Hi

After upgrading to 600 build I am experiencing issues with my function that otherwise work perfectly.

It returns a 1004 code and records in the log: "Error when calling InternetOpenUrlA()"

Here is the code, can anyone please help:

#define HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH 0x00000005
#define HTTP_QUERY_FLAG_NUMBER    0x20000000

#define INTERNET_OPEN_TYPE_DIRECT       0

Thanks in advance

try this:

#import "wininet.dll"
   int InternetOpenW(string,int,string,string,int);
   int InternetConnectW(int,string,int,string,string,int,int,int);
   int InternetOpenUrlW(int,string,string,int,int,int);
   int InternetReadFile(int hFile,uchar &sBuffer[],int lNumBytesToRead,int &lNumberOfBytesRead[]);   
   int InternetCloseHandle(int);
#import

string GrabWeb(string strUrl) {//>4
   string result;
   int HttpOpen=InternetOpenW(" ",0," "," ",0);
   int HttpConnect = InternetConnectW(HttpOpen, "", 80, "", "", 3, 0, 1);
   int HttpRequest = InternetOpenUrlW(HttpOpen,strUrl, NULL, 0, 0, 0);
        
   int read[1];
   int sz=0;   
   uchar buffer[1024];
   bool isOk;
   while(true) {
      isOk = InternetReadFile(HttpRequest,buffer,1024,read);
      sz += read[0];
      if(read[0]>0) result=result+CharArrayToString(buffer,0,read[0],CP_UTF8);
      else break;
   }

   if(HttpRequest>0) InternetCloseHandle(HttpRequest);
   if(HttpConnect>0) InternetCloseHandle(HttpConnect);
   if(HttpOpen>0) InternetCloseHandle(HttpOpen);

   if (sz>0) return (result);
   // else
   return("");
}

( I changed my code and didn't compile it..!)

Works perfectly, thank you so much.

Just spotted a small issue, when the file is deleted from the server, the function still returns the file contents, is this data being held in a buffer or cache?

Perhaps these will need to be flushed at the end of the function?


Thanks

Antony

I have no idea.

And I think even if I would know more about the Server and the files loaded I wouldn't know.

Could it be a local (your pc) Internet buffer or could it be buffered by your internet provider?

On the old script it uses this:

Wonder if this can be used in the GrabWeb() function?

int hReq = InternetOpenUrlW(hSession, fUrl, "0", 0,
              INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE |
              INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE |
              INTERNET_FLAG_RELOAD, 0
              );

#define INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE    0x04000000
#define INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE    0x00000100

Ah right cool, like this:

#define INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE    0x04000000

string GrabWeb(string strUrl) {//>4
   string result;
   int HttpOpen=InternetOpenW(" ",0," ",INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE,0);
   int HttpConnect = InternetConnectW(HttpOpen, "", 80, "", "", 3, 0, 1);
   int HttpRequest = InternetOpenUrlW(HttpOpen,strUrl, NULL, 0, 0, 0);
        
   int read[1];
   int sz=0;   
   uchar buffer[1024];
   bool isOk;
   while(true) {
      isOk = InternetReadFile(HttpRequest,buffer,1024,read);
      sz += read[0];
      if(read[0]>0) result=CharArrayToString(buffer,0,read[0],CP_UTF8);
      else break;
   }

   //if(HttpRequest>0) 
   InternetCloseHandle(HttpRequest);
  // if(HttpConnect>0) 
   InternetCloseHandle(HttpConnect);
 //  if(HttpOpen>0) 
   InternetCloseHandle(HttpOpen);

   if (sz>0) Print("res",result);return (result);
   // else
   return("");
}
string GrabWeb2(string strUrl) {//>4

   int HttpOpen=InternetOpenW(" ",0," "," ",0);
   int HttpConnect = InternetConnectW(HttpOpen, "", 80, "", "", 3, 0, 1 );
   //int HttpRequest = InternetOpenUrlW(HttpOpen,strUrl,    NULL, 0, 0, 0 );
   int HttpRequest = InternetOpenUrlW(HttpOpen, strUrl, "0", 0, INTERNET_FLAG_NO_CACHE_WRITE | INTERNET_FLAG_PRAGMA_NOCACHE, 0 );
   
   string result:
   int read[1];
   int sz=0;   
   uchar buffer[1024];
   bool isOk;
   while(true) {
      isOk = InternetReadFile(HttpRequest,buffer,1024,read);
      sz += read[0];
      if(read[0]>0) result=result+CharArrayToString(buffer,0,read[0],CP_UTF8);
      else break;
   }

   /*if(HttpRequest>0)*/  InternetCloseHandle(HttpRequest);
   /*if(HttpConnect>0)*/  InternetCloseHandle(HttpConnect);
   /*if(HttpOpen>0)*/     InternetCloseHandle(HttpOpen);
   if (sz>0) { Print("res: ",result); return(result); }
   return("");
}

This I could compile without error, but haven't checked it working.

Can you tell me whether you still have the chache-problem?
