Download a file from the net
« on: April 06, 2018, 07:33:00 pm »
Hi Friends!
Maybe this my question will be too difficult, I really don't know.
I'd like to download a file from the net with my program. The download description shows this:
wget ...
To be honest, I have no idea how can I work with it.
Is there anyone who could show me a solution?

No. Not really.

This is a native solution, you don't need any third party component, please test attached project. For http(s) downloads, you will need the openssl libraries. You should change the values in "Button1click" according to your needs. As a homework you can add a ProgressBar.

Just for the extreme luxury:  O:-)
Is it possible to unzip the zip file programmatically?
If yes, its code would be the dream itself ...

I looked at http://wiki.freepascal.org/unzip and tried to download the package from http://www.info-zip.org/, but couldn't. Something certificate error (insecure connection).

paszlib is already installed with your fpc installation, that includes the zipper unit and the included TZipper class, please read the link I provided above.

Back to the original question >> download is OK (thanks  to GetMem!).
But, what about upload? Can I get an example?

Do you have your own server? Where do you wish to update the files?

1. PHP
Save the following code as upload.php, copy to your server, change "test" according to your needs. Make sure the server is running and "test" has write permission.
Code: PHP  [Select][+][-]
  1. <?php
  2.   if (isset($_FILES['zip']['name']) && !empty($_FILES['zip']['name']))
  3.   {
  4.     $tmp_name_zip = $_FILES['zip']['tmp_name'];
  5.  
  6.     $location = 'test/'; /*change this */
  7.     if (move_uploaded_file($tmp_name_zip, $location . $_FILES['zip']['name']))      
  8.       echo 'zipok';
  9.   }
  10. ?>
  11.  

2. Lazarus
Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]
  1. uses fphttpclient;
  2.  
  3. function UploadFile(const AURL, AFieldName, AFileName: String; out AError: String): Boolean;
  4. var
  5.   SS: TStringStream;
  6.   HTTPClient: TFPHTTPClient;
  7. begin
  8.   Result := False;
  9.   SS := TStringStream.Create('');
  10.   try
  11.     HTTPClient := TFPHTTPClient.Create(nil);
  12.     try
  13.       try
  14.         HttpClient.FileFormPost(AURL, AFieldName, AFileName, SS);
  15.       except
  16.         on E: Exception do
  17.           AError := E.Message;
  18.       end;
  19.       Result := SS.DataString = 'zipok';
  20.     finally
  21.       HTTPClient.Free;
  22.       HTTPClient := nil;
  23.     end;
  24.   finally
  25.     SS.Free;
  26.   end;
  27. end;
  28.  
  29. procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  30. var
  31.   ErrMsg: String;
  32. begin
  33.   if UploadFile('http://localhost/upload.php', 'zip', 'd:\test.zip', ErrMsg) then
  34.     ShowMessage('Successfully uploaded')
  35.   else
  36.     ShowMessage('Cannot upload file: ' + sLineBreak + ErrMsg);
  37. end;

Somehow I couldn't get it to work.
I got the 'Cannot upload file: ' message, but there is no any error message.
Previously I created a folder on the server and gave 0755 as permission.
I have no idea. (Maybe missing user/pw)?

Update: you (GetMem) wrote this above: "For http(s) downloads, you will need the openssl libraries." Interestingly for the download it worked with my https without the openssl libraries. Maybe it is not the case for uploads?
