Having problems downloading pictures of the net

Homer_simpson · **Posted:** Sat Apr 19, 2003 2:17 am

code:

var url : string
url := "http://www.geocities.com/stmxpm/finaly.jpg"
var netStream : int
var f : int
var ch : char
netStream := Net.OpenURLConnection (url)

open : f, "c:/downloaded file.jpg", write
loop
exit when eof (netStream)
get : netStream, ch
write : f, ch
%put ch
end loop
Net.CloseConnection (netStream)
close (f)

ok that's the code and it's supposed to download a jpg file off this address "http://www.geocities.com/stmxpm/finaly.jpg". well .... it downloads somethink and it's a picture but when i open it it's a whole new picture.

when i use the program download bmp files it seems to work fine but it has a problem with all jpgs.

code:

var url : string
url := "http://www.geocities.com/stmxpm/sc1.bmp"

var netStream : int
var ch : char

netStream := Net.OpenURLConnection (url)
if netStream <= 0 then
put "Unable to connect to ", url
return
end if
var f : int
open : f, "c:/downloaded file.bmp", write
loop
exit when eof (netStream)
get : netStream, ch
write : f, ch
%put ch
end loop
Net.CloseConnection (netStream)
close (f)

anybody knows how to solve the problem?[/code]

I made it able to download JPGs but it really screws up the pic.

code:

var location : string := ""
put "http://" ..
get location
location := "HTTP://" + location

var ch : char
var netStream : int := Net.OpenURLConnection (location)

if netStream <= 0 then
put "Image does not exist."
return
end if

put "Saving..."

var file : int
open : file, "C:/DownloadedImage." + location (length (location) - 2 .. length (location)), write
loop
exit when eof (netStream)
get : netStream, ch
write : file, ch
end loop
Net.CloseConnection (netStream)
close (file)

locate (2, 1)
put "Image saved."

well... i dunno if any of you guys ever had this problem, but when i was making a game, i could NOT use jpg's... i always had errors no matter what i did with it...but was fine with bmp's... could be a flaw in turing...
