RHttpDownload file name access

[nokscott]

Hey,

Does anyone know how to go about retrieving the filename associated with an RHttpDownload?

As a secondary question that might make the first moot, I've attempted to do a Move of a download only to find the file is not ultimately being moved. Currently I'm trying to move the file to the \resource\apps\ directory which might be having capability issues. Are there particular directories set to allow user data writing capabilities (or file moving)?

Thanks

Scott

have you checked the functions provided by the class ?
for exmaple it has GetFileHandleAttribute, that gives you the handle for the RFile, and with RFile APIs functions, you could get the name easily.

I would suggest you to read data caging part of the platform security, it could explain to you, why you can not write to the resource folder.

I have a problem with storing downloaded contents (a gif file) after it has been downloaded. I create a download as follows

EXPORT_C TInt CFileDownloaderBase::Download(
        const TDesC& aUrl, const TDesC& aDestFileName)
{
    TInt result = KErrArgument;
    if(!aUrl.Length())
        return result;
    TInt iapId=api::SB_GetSettingLong(STE_IAPID,-1);
    if(iapId==-1)
        return KErrCouldNotConnect;
    
    try
    {
        START_SYMBIAN_EXCEPTION_HANDLING
        //Set IAP
        User::LeaveIfError(iDownloadMgr.SetIntAttribute(EDlMgrIap, iapId));
        //Convert to UTF8
        HBufC8* pUrl = putils::UnicodeToUTF8L(aUrl);
        CleanupStack::PushL(pUrl);
        TBool bResult;
        RHttpDownload& download=iDownloadMgr.CreateDownloadL((*pUrl),bResult);
        CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(pUrl);
        if(!bResult) User::Leave(KErrAlreadyExists);
        
        TInt error = download.SetStringAttribute(
                EDlAttrDestFilename,aDestFileName);
        //error is set to KErrArgument - why?
        User::LeaveIfError( 
                download.SetIntAttribute( EDlAttrAction, EDoNothing ) );
        
        User::LeaveIfError( download.Start() );
        result = KErrNone;
        FINISH_SYMBIAN_EXCEPTION_HANDLING
    }
    catch(XLeaveException& e)
    {
        result = e.Reason();
        DPRINT(_L8("CFileDownloaderBase::Download - Exception (%d)"),result);
    }
    return result;
}

The download starts fine and as far as I can understand it completes with no problem

EXPORT_C void CFileDownloaderBase::HandleDMgrEventL( 
        RHttpDownload& aDownload, THttpDownloadEvent aEvent )
{
    DPRINT(_L8("CFileDownloaderBase::HandleDMgrEventL - "
            "iDownloadState(%d),iProgressState(%d)"),
            aEvent.iDownloadState,aEvent.iProgressState);
    
    switch(aEvent.iDownloadState)
    {
    case EHttpDlPaused:
        if( aEvent.iProgressState==EHttpContentTypeReceived)
            aDownload.Start();
        break;
        
    case EHttpDlCompleted:
    {
        if( aEvent.iProgressState==EHttpProgNone)
        {
            TFileName filename( _L("c:\\system\\temp\\myfile.gif" ));
            TInt error = aDownload.SetStringAttribute( EDlAttrDestFilename,  filename );
            error = aDownload.Move();
        }
        
        break;
    } //end case EHttpDlCompleted:
    } //end switch(aEvent.iDownloadState)
    
}

I print the result of the execution into a file and here is the output

As you can see the complete operation finishes successfully but I still do not have my gif file in
c:\\system\\temp\\myfile.gif.
Any idea what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Check aEvent.iProgressState. You'll find it is a different value for event.
