MGet fails silently if Content-Length unknown

One of my servers, proxied by Cloudflare, doesn't return Content-Length when queried (I don't know why, that's a whole other ball of fluff). When I attempt downloading a file from that server with MGet the download fails but there is no error indication, just a zero-length file created locally.

Debug output:

WGet (1.21.1) downloads the file OK.

Re: MGet fails silently if Content-Length unknown

The server uses

Transfer-Encoding: chunked

which should be supported.

The regular Get() calls works as expected, but I guess wget requires a length to work as expected...
I will investigate further.

Please try
https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/0a01bc35

There are Internet issues on my location currently, so I am not able to fully validate the fix.
Your feedback is welcome.

Re: MGet fails silently if Content-Length unknown

I'm afraid to be wrong, but maybe it makes sense to add the ability to download files over SMB to MGet.
Or move this feature into a separate utility, something like

smbget - wget-like utility for download files over SMB

https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/tr … get.1.html

Re: MGet fails silently if Content-Length unknown

A pure SMB client is out-of-scope...
But https://searchcode.com/codesearch/view/64390136/ may help. wink

A network file system access (i.e. using plain FileOpen/FileRead) instead of sockets + HTTP, with our P2P automated fallback, is (easily) feasible.
My guess is that we could a "protocol-plugin-system" to work with schemes other than http/https in mget URIs.
We could had e.g. file://.... and smb:// protocols. wink

Re: MGet fails silently if Content-Length unknown

Preliminary 'file://' support:
https://github.com/synopse/mORMot2/commit/489436af

Note that on Windows, it would use proper file URIs so could redirect to a remote folder:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/archi … in-windows
On POSIX, you need to have mounted the file to a given position.
