texte = Hello people. I just want a little help :) on the use of tcpconnect / tcpsend. Im trying to obtain files in binary mode, on the same server, and show the download window on the user side.... What im ussing is, this code.. [showif [findstring source=[platform]&find=Windows]>0] [text]hostname=[GETMIMEHEADER name=HTTP_HOST][/text] [/showif] [hideif [findstring source=[platform]&find=Windows]>0] [text]hostname=[GETMIMEHEADER name=HOST][/text] [/hideif] [text]path=[middle starafter=&endbefore=download][thisurl][/middle][/text] [text]crlf=[unurl]%0D%0A[/unurl][/text] [fileinfo file=[path][folderpath][selfilename]] [text]filesize=[size][/text] [/fileinfo] [setmimeheader name=Content-type&value=application/octet-stream] [setmimeheader name=Content-ID&value=[selfilename]] [setmimeheader name=Content-transfer-encoding&value=binary] [setmimeheader name=Content-length&value=[filesize]] [setmimeheader name=Content-disposition&value=attachment; filename=[selfilename]] [tcpconnect host=[hostname]&ssl=F] [writefile file=[selfilename]][tcpsend skipheader=T]GET [path][folderpath] HTTP/1.0[crlf]host: [hostname][crlf][crlf][/tcpsend][/writefile] [/tcpconnect] Ok, the the variables im passing to the script are for example: download.tpl?selfilename=theimage.jpg&folderpath=thefolder/oftheimages/ At this point, the download window is shown as well, but im not receiving anythinng, just a blank thing with the name of the image. I have tested without writefile, i obtain more or less the file size, but corrupted data. I have tested with php, ussing this: And the file is downloading as well... But i need it working on webdna :) I know php can read binary files and webdna can't, but i was thinking maybe ussing tcpconnect i can obtain the binaryfile content? i try to find how on the webdna talk list and i just find something about a corrected bug on the version 5, i saw theres say that the tcpconenct buffers only acpet ascii chars, but with these bugfix, you can use write file... but i have the version 6 developer, and does not work. Maybe im doing something wrong? Thanks a lot! Roberto Antonio Berrospe Machin Senior Programer / Developer / Server-Lan Manager Virtual Job Zone Corporation.
