Hi,

I'm referencing this problem:

https://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/detail?id=634

It says that the issue is fixed, but it doesn't seem to be working still over here. When I try to call the php script within a protected dir using SendHTTPFile, the server response var is blank.

Other HTTP commands, e.g. SendHTTPRequestASync() do work with scripts in the protected directory, so I know that the http connection (including the username and password) is correct.

SendHTTPFile() works correctly when the dir is not protected.

I've set up a couple of test dirs on my server to show you what I mean...

EXAMPLE 1: sending a file using a script in an unprotected dir works:

+ Code Snippet

// Make test file
fileID = OpenToWrite("test.txt" , 0)
WriteLine(fileID , "this is a test")
CloseFile(fileID)

// Attempt to send to unprotected dir
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 0)
SendHTTPFile(http,"jbs2/up.php","","test.txt")

// Wait for response
while GetHTTPResponseReady(http) = 0
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
endwhile

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop

EXAMPLE 2: sending a file using a script in a protected dir does not work:

+ Code Snippet

// Make test file
fileID = OpenToWrite("test.txt" , 0)
WriteLine(fileID , "this is a test")
CloseFile(fileID)

// Attempt to send to protected dir
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 0,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")
SendHTTPFile(http,"jbs/up.php","","test.txt")

// Wait for response
while GetHTTPResponseReady(http) = 0
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
endwhile

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop

EXAMPLE 3: Connecting to the script in the protected dir with a different http command does work (even though, obviously, no file transfer is involved):

+ Code Snippet

http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 0,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")
SendHTTPRequestASync(http, "jbs/up.php", "")

// Wait for response
while GetHTTPResponseReady(http) = 0
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
endwhile

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop

Would someone else mind confirming that this is still a problem?

Thanks,

James

maybe u need the secure flag.
if you use http everybody can read the data.
the login make no sense with http i think so.
integer SetHTTPHost( iHTTP, szHost, iSecure, szUser, szPass )

Quote: "iSecure - Set to one to use an HTTPS secure connection,"

i believe this returns also a -1, it so you stay in a loop
SetHTTPResponseReady

Quote: "Returns 0 if the request is still in progress, or -1 if the request failed. "

did you get something in here?
GetErrorOccurred()
GetLastError()

Hi Markus,

There is a response received - it's just blank. When the folder is not protected, the response comes through correctly.

The secure flag causes AppGameKit to make a https: connection (and eventually that's what I'm going to use).

I can't see how this isn't a bug. It's been mentioned before (https://code.google.com/p/agk/issues/detail?id=634) but was flagged as fixed. The protected folder connection does work for SendHTTPRequestASync(), but not for SendHTTPFile().

Thanks,

James

without u got -1 fail at response.
with secure flag 1 i got 404 response.

+ Code Snippet



// Make test file
fileID = OpenToWrite("test.txt" , 0)
WriteLine(fileID , "this is a test")
CloseFile(fileID)

// Attempt to send to protected dir
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 1,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")
SendHTTPFile(http,"jbs/up.php","","test.txt")

// Wait for response
do
	ret=GetHTTPResponseReady(http) 
	memory$ = "GetHTTPResponseReady "+str(ret)
	if ret=1 or ret=-1 then exit	   
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
loop

if ret=-1
	memory$ = memory$ + " Last Error:" & GetLastError()
endif

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    print(memory$)
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop
end

Hi Markus

Thanks for trying it. The 404 error you got was, I think, caused by this:

SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 1,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")

The 1 flag causes AppGameKit to attempt a https: connection. I don't have a https: connection yet.

Using your code but adjusting it slightly, this (to an unprotected dir) works

+ Code Snippet

// Make test file
fileID = OpenToWrite("test.txt" , 0)
WriteLine(fileID , "this is a test")
CloseFile(fileID)

// Attempt to send to unprotected dir
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 0,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")
SendHTTPFile(http,"jbs2/up.php","","test.txt")

// Wait for response
do
	ret=GetHTTPResponseReady(http) 
	memory$ = "GetHTTPResponseReady "+str(ret)
	if ret=1 or ret=-1 then exit	   
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
loop

if ret=-1
	memory$ = memory$ + " Last Error:" & GetLastError()
endif

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    print(memory$)
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop
end

.. but this doesn't (to a protected dir)

+ Code Snippet

// Make test file
fileID = OpenToWrite("test.txt" , 0)
WriteLine(fileID , "this is a test")
CloseFile(fileID)

// Attempt to send to protected dir
http = CreateHTTPConnection()
SetHTTPHost(http, "www.glasstowers.co.uk", 0,"bob","This$is$a%Password1")
SendHTTPFile(http,"jbs/up.php","","test.txt")

// Wait for response
do
	ret=GetHTTPResponseReady(http) 
	memory$ = "GetHTTPResponseReady "+str(ret)
	if ret=1 or ret=-1 then exit	   
    Print( "Connecting..." )
    Sync()
loop

if ret=-1
	memory$ = memory$ + " Last Error:" & GetLastError()
endif

response$ = GetHTTPResponse(http)
CloseHTTPConnection(http)
DeleteHTTPConnection(http)

// Main loop
do
    print(memory$)
    Print( "Server response: " + response$ )
    Sync()
loop
end

Thanks again,

James

ahh agree, i test it with the firefox itself.
the 404 comes at https
with http and without a file i got Error: filetype as result from firefox.
without secure there comes a fail and no error message.

hmm i think the issue you have can paul better clarify.

Markus - I appreciate the time you've spent testing this. Thanks very much

Does anyone know how I report this as an issue? Does Paul read these posts?

Ta,

James
