ACQUIRE and @ifilesize

[Joe Caverly]

Hey @Charles Dye;
I tried using the @ifilesize function from the ACQUIRE plugin, but it returns;

e:\utils>echo %@ifilesize[https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]
TCC: (WININET) The URL is invalid

e:\utils>echo %_? %?
0 0

I know the file exists, as my UDF works okay;

e:\utils>function url*
urlsize=%@word[1,%@execstr[curl --head --insecure --silent %1 | find "Content-Length"]]

e:\utils>echo %@urlsize[https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]
64562800

I have not been able to reproduce this:

C:\>ver /r

TCC  28.00.12 x64   Windows 10 [Version 10.0.19041.1110]
TCC Build 12   Windows 10 Build 19041

C:\>which @ifilesize
@ifilesize is a plugin variable (Acquire)

C:\>echo %@pluginver[acquire]
1.0.0

C:\>echo %@ifilesize[https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]
64562800

C:\>

Any error message produced by my plugin ought to include the plugin name:

C:\>echo %@ifilesize[]
Acquire plugin: Missing filename

C:\>echo %@ifilesize[tcmd.exe]
Acquire plugin: Bad or missing protocol: "tcmd.exe"

C:\>

The only idea I've come up with so far is that WinInet changed in build 20H2. But why would they do that?

 

[Joe Caverly]

It's my fault, @Charles Dye.

This works;

e:\utils>echo %@acquire$ifilesize[https://jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]
64562800

Another plugin has the same function name;

e:\utils>which @ifilesize
@ifilesize is a plugin variable (4UTILS)

...which is what gave the error.

[Charles Dye]

Aha. If I had realized that Vince had an @IFILESIZE, I would have picked a different name!

 

[vefatica]

Yup. Mine doesn't want the "https://" part.

v:\> which @ifiletime
@ifiletime is a plugin variable (4UTILS)

v:\> echo %@ifilesize[jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]

Charles, do you have an @IFILETIME also? It's uses the same technique.

v:\> echo %@ifiletime[jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]

Charles, do you have an @IFILETIME also? It's uses the same technique.

v:\> echo %@ifiletime[jpsoft.com/downloads/v28/tcmd.exe]

No, I don't. @IFILESIZE is only there because I already had the code, so why not make it available to the user?

 

[vefatica]

If you're using HttpQueryInfo() there's just a tiny difference ... whether you give it HTTP_QUERY_CONTENT_LENGTH or HTTP_QUERY_LAST_MODIFIED.

@Joe Caverly :

How did you get this information? a plugin?

 

[vefatica]

That comes from the Windows 10 Settings App ... on the "About" tab there are a few opportunities to COPY the displayed info.

 

[Charles G]

@vefatica I'm about 2 months new on Windows 10 - thanks!

 

[Charles G]

@vefatica - it was available when I selected "This PC" on the desktop, RMB and select "Properties" then :

[vefatica]

Oh yeah. I left something out. It's (Start button) Settings\System\About.

If you have a quick way to get to ControlPanel, "System" takes you directly to "About".

Also, from TCC, start ms-settings:about

Or just ms-settings:about in the Run dialog (Win+R).
