Hi Mariano,

(I can't access the file you gave as an example, probably an extra #username:password: is needed)

Yes, in fact, that was the problem ;)

You are making it more difficult than it has to be: this gives you the bytes you want

ZnClient new get: 'http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/string.fuel'.

With some better system parameters this becomes

ZnClient new systemPolicy; beOneShot; accept: ZnMimeType applicationOctetStream; url: 'http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/string.fuel'; get.

But what you really want is something like:

ZnClient new systemPolicy; beOneShot; accept: ZnMimeType applicationOctetStream; url: 'http://zn.stfx.eu/zn/string.fuel'; contentReader: [ :entity | FLMaterializer materializeFromByteArray: entity contents ]; get.

You can experiment with #streaming: true but that is only worth it for large (MB) files. IMHO.

Thanks Sven, very informative.

HTH,

Sven

Hi Sven. How can I download a binary file to a bytearray ?

I tried to download it locally doing:

ZnClient new systemPolicy; accept: ZnMimeType applicationOctetStream; url: ' https://ci.lille.inria.fr/pharo/view/Pharo%202.0/job/pharo-2.0-tests/Archite... '; downloadTo: '/Users/mariano/Desktop'.

but I cannot even do that. Notice that my final go is not to download it to a file, but rather directly get the binary contents.

How can I do that?

Thanks,
