HEADS UP: Server.downloadFile() issue on macOS Sequoia - and a solution

[tomekslesicki]

The p part is the authorization that’s getting passed to the server. I was having an issue using that with GET - again, very inconsistent and on some systems only, and I can’t reproduce it on any fo the 3 macs I have around - as though the parameter was not being passed to the server properly. So maybe it’s about that, but then I have no clue on how to troubleshoot this further.

@tomekslesicki Nothing in particular stands out to me. Here's my downloader if you want to compare.

Is there any way to print the final url with the parameter part? The docs https://docs.hise.dev/scripting/scripting-api/server/index.html#callwithget say that "The parameters have to be a non-nested JSON object and will automatically change the URL to embed these parameters". What does the final url look like after the change?

The issue was only present on macOS Sequoia,

Have the three customers tested other versions of MacOS?

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey of course not ;-) But I also have one guy on Windows experiencing this now.

What is the common link between all the people who have the issue?

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey none, but I suspect the problem is with the parameter part of the url called by HISE. The reason I suspect this is that the POST calls are made to a different server, and they work fine. The download callback works fine wherever I test it and - again, works for the vast majority of users - but I guess it's possible that the parameter part is not attached to the call properly, and the server rejects it because it doesn't pass the authorization.

If that was the case wouldn't it fail for all users?

[tomekslesicki]

@d-healey maybe it works on some systems but not others, for whatever reason? Is there a way to get the final url of the call affected by the parameter property?

That's why we need to find the common factor. Then you can recreate the system in a VM and debug it.

What OS are they using?
What DAW are they using?
Are you able to make a standalone app that just does the download call so that it can be tested in isolation?
Do they have a firewall?
Do they use a VPN?
Who is their internet provider?
What country are they in?
etc.

Find out everything that they have in common and build a VM to match.

Only on your server I think.
