Server.downloadFile with signed Amazon S3 URL

[bendurso]

@d-healey The link is the final one. But your comment led me to think the link was different, so I checked it and realized that the download link in Chrome transforms the " into %22 and the spaces into %20.

I can replace the spaces. But how do I transform the " into %22?
Because this doesnt work

String.replace(""", "%22");

update: ohh, like this:

String.replace("\"", "%22");

Now the link is identical.. but still doesnt work :(

@bendurso The link contains 1359 characters. Maybe that could be the issue? Is there max limit for the link length?

Could be, I'm not sure. I believe HISE is using cURL to do the download so you can test that by running it manually in a terminal.

@d-healey Thanks, yes it works with curl in terminal.

In HISE, I'm clearing the HttpHeader before starting the download, as I read in the forum, and I'm making sure not to repeat the base URL (just using https://).

It works with links from other servers, but it doesn’t seem to work with signed S3 URLs.

@bendurso Does it work in a private browser session?

[bendurso]

@d-healey yeap :)

[David Healey]

@bendurso I'm stumped then... You could use cURL directly from in HISE by calling it as a process - @aaronventure posted about this a while back I think.

@David-Healey Thanks. It worked with cURL as a background process. I read that if the user has a Windows version prior to 2019 wont work. Should I use powershell for Windows for better compatibility right?

I'd really like to know why it doesn't work with the standard downloadFile call.

I don't know, I think powershell needs permissions doesn't it?

@David-Healey I found a post where Dan was using the same amazon s3 links as me.

I'm actually trying to use moonbase, but I got the same links for download.

@Dan-Korneff How did you solve this?
