Question about idhttp GET
I've seen an interesting posting here: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23286908/Downloaded-files-using-TIdHTTP-INDY-10.html
Where I could get a filename for an url which looks like this: http://www.deadlybossmods.com/download.php?id=1
the problem is, it does not result any filename if the url looks like this one: http://www.delphipages.com/edit/count.cfm?ID=3338
can someone make it work with most if not all urls?
kindest regards

that only happens when running in the IDE and not having the delphi exceptions ignored :)
so, either run it from outside of the ide, or, in ide, menu, tools - debugger options - language exceptions : uncheck stop on delphi exceptions.

Ah I see, perfect job!
Thank you very much!
Maybe one last word, does this version you have done now works with all of those urls which hides filenames or is it alsmost impossible to extract every one?

can't say. if the methods used are standardized and are the 2 which I implemented, then yes :) there might be other standard ways of doing it. when you find one, just ask and we'll solve it ;)

Ok I'll look if I stumble about another one, I'll let you know!
Again thank you very much!

Hi ciuly,
I didn't thought I would come back so fast but try this url: http://go.microsoft.com/FWLink/?LinkId=84399
for the example above it will not generate the filename :-(

it works for me

Hmm don't know why probably my mistake I got as filename result: _LinkId_84399 instead of wuredist.cab
yes, in first instance. but when doing the get, it will redirect (302) which will give the new url and thus changing the filename from _LinkId_84399 to wuredist.cab
unless you changed something in the code :P
run my code as it is (only change the url) and you will see it works.

seems to be something with my other code inside the thread not sure whats wrong in the moment i need more testing
tae your time. just keep in mind that according to EE rules, since you are having another problem, even though it is related to this question, you need to open a new question because it is actually another problem ;)
there is an ask a related question link just above the memo box you type in, this one: https://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Pascal/Delphi/newQuestionWizardRelated.jsp?qid=23860762

Ok I'll see I now found the problem myself.
While running your code inside a seperate thread, I was freeing the MemoryStream and IDHHTP Object not inside the thread execution but in destroy. That was my mistake so the downloaded file couldn't be saved to hdd!
I now moved the freeing of both objects into the finally statements in thread execute method and it works like a charm!
kindest regards

maybe I did a mistake but if I execute your code, I run into an exception telling me:
'EIdHTTPProtocolException HTTP/1.1.302 Object Moved'
