Android Question Download problem

[rboeck]

Hi,

my app is inside an mobile telephonbook site; i transmit name and adress to the site;
after an adress was choosen, there is the possibility for storing this adress in vcf format.

The url i get in Webview1_OverrideUrl is:
http://mobil.dasoertliche.de/;logsection=vCard;logtitle=Download/fit:extension/vcard.vcf?id=vCard

My current code is this:

Dim Job As HttpJob
Job.Initialize("Job",Me)
Job.Download(URL1)
ProcessHTML(URL1)

With this code i get the vcf file not as file, than as text in smallest possible chars...
Then i get a toast message: Error: Internal Server Error
My Know How of webtechnologie is not enough to handle this result.
Any hints?

You should handle the result in Sub JobDone. Only then the result is available.

Sorry, I was unable to ask exactly: the upper code is processed for starting the download job. When i use this statement: ProcessHTML i get the internal Server Error in JobDone Event ; if i dont use this one line, i see the vcf file inside my webview in the smallest possible size and JobDone is never used.
I tried to use the same mobile web adress with chrome on android and get the same result: the file source is shown as text file.
When i use a desktop browser, i get the an normal download dialog.
The mobile website is:
http://mobil.dasoertliche.de
Here you can choose on adress and click on "Ins Adressbuch"

An swiss and an austrian variant of the almost same problem are running.

You will need to post the full code.

Hi, i is easier for you to show it in B4J: You get a german telefonbook, click on a adress. On the following page there is a label: Ins Adressbuch

In line 36 to 38 there is code for starting the download, but it leads to an Internal Server error; what can i do, to download this file?

But I also get similar error if I press on this link:
http://mobil.dasoertliche.de/;logsection=vCard;logtitle=Download/fit:extension/vcard.vcf?id=vCard

 

[rboeck]

I think this error is only here, when you wait for a longer time or change to another browser. If you stay inside one session you dont get the error.

 

[Erel]

Ok. I understand. The problem is that you need to send the session cookies together with the request. You can use this (B4A) library to get the cookies: [lib] CookieManager

You will need to then add the cookies to the request.

Job.Download(...)
Job.GetRequest.SetHeader("Cookie", <cookies>) 'make sure to add a reference to Http library.

 

[rboeck]

It works!
Many thanks to you and warwound for the library.

One last question (for today): I tried to use the cookieManager from B4J - the lib was shown, but Dim of the manager was not possible. Is there recompilation needed?

 

[Erel]

I'm not familiar with this library code but it is most probably an Android only library.
