Can the Sketchup::Http module be used to asynchronously download files? It looks like so considering the set_download_progress_callback method. But where is the file stored once downloaded? Is there more information somewhere?

I think you get the response as a String. You should then be able to save it out anywhere you want it to go.

Thank you all for your input! I don’t know how I didn’t think about that ^^

[image] kengey: Maybe start another thread about this? See Include Ruby executables with SU?

[image] DanRathbun: The block parameters for this method have a bug (at least on Windows.) I logged it privately, but I should create a public issue for it. Basically the total parameter is nil or 0 (cannot remember which,) … making any comparison with the current value (as to percent done do…

[image] DanRathbun: Actually the total parameter is always -1 . That’s not the experience I’m having. The total is correct on SketchUp 2017 up to 2020. In your case, does the response header contain the content size?

[image] jiminybillybob: The total is correct on SketchUp 2017 up to 2020. I just tested it this morning on 2020, and had tested it back to 2017 in the past. Did you test with the test script I posted ? Do you have another URL that I can run the test script on? [image] jiminybillybob: I…

[image] jiminybillybob: In your case, does the response header contain the content size? Are you suggesting a workaround to firstly make a HEAD request, get the “Content-Length” and then make the actual GET request and use the size from response to the HEAD request ? Tried this. See discussi…

[image] DanRathbun: My test happens to request a zip from GitHub which isn’t usually returning a “Content-Length” for a HEAD request That’s my point. If the server is not returning the Content-Length, how could SketchUp know what it’s supposed to be?

[image] jiminybillybob: That’s my point. If the server is not returning the Content-Length , how could SketchUp know what it’s supposed to be? Well, I am operating under the principle (which Trimble employees keep stating) that the API documentation states “contracts” for feature behavior. I…

If you want a progress indicator and can live with a sync (blocking download), the attached file shows an example using Net::HTTP. It just outputs the percent and ‘step’ to the console approx every second… EDIT: first copy of the file I uploaded had an error in it, as I mistakenly left io.write ch…

Well, yes, I’ve used Net::HTTP in the past (especially before the SketchUp API added Sketchup::Http classes.) But … this, (knowing the download size in order to calculate percentage,) is kind of more about the SketchUp API and it’s documentation. But to humor you, how would the Standard libraries …
