Extend Webparser download method


Posted on Mar 15, 2009 by Quick Rhino

Some problems cannot be solved by current download option.

For example, when two or more downloaded file names are the same, both of they cannot be displayed. (It is because the same file name as a temporary folder cannot live together.)

In another example, the file cannot be downloaded from following URL. http://www.example.com/image?id=1234 (It is maybe because the inaccurate character is contained, so it cannot save in a temporary folder.)

Then, I have some suggestion.

  1. Add the permanent download method e.g. "Save as..." (the way a user can specify an output directory and name.)

This issue was solved in r318.

  • When quotation mark is included in a file name, the character behind quotation mark is now truncated.

    • When the character like ": * ? " < > |" is included in the name of the downloaded file, basically those characters are replaced by the underscore "_".

    • Permanent download option "DownloadFile" was now added.

Status: Fixed
