Hi,
I'm having a dickens of a time trying to do something I thought would
be simple.
I want to download a file with an HTTPSocket. While it's downloading
I put up a dialog with a progress bar. When the download is finished
the dialog is dismissed.
To do this, I have created a thread that issues a .get command via an
HTTPSocket. The socket has a "done" property that it sets with
DownloadComplete fires. The thread waits for this (or an error, or
usercancelled), and then exits. Here's the basic code:
mySocket.get theURLToDownload, f
while DownloadDone = false and DownloadError = 0 and UserCancelled = false
wend
The problem is that while the while/wend loop runs, the socket
doesn't receive any data (ReceiveProgress never fires). The socket
should run asynchronously (and in any case, is called from a thread),
but no data are received.
What am I doing wrong? I imagine there is a simply solution to this
problem that is eluding me because of a misunderstanding on my part.
Thanks,
Jon
