tce-load -w fails if run a second time

[SvOlli]

To me it looks like tce-load -w appends downloaded data instead of noticing that it's already there and does not need to be fetched again.

Code: [Select]

See the bug report A Failure Mode for tce-load Re-download for an explanation of what is happening. 

Using wget with the -c option also causes the following error message when you re-download the same version of an extension:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ version
tinycore_4.0rc1

tc@box:~$ tce-load -w e3.tcz

Originally wget -c (continue) was not used!

Then the community wanted such and was added in v2.2,
see: http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,2283.msg11939.html#msg11939

Now some want it out? A new change in wget function or some members of the community?

See the bug report A Failure Mode for tce-load Re-download for an explanation of what is happening.

It's not what's happening. After the first download the file has the correct size of 4096 bytes. The download gains another 4096 bytes in size every time I run tce-load -w, as the *.md5.txt file always gets appended time after time.

The -c option is good and should be left in. My rough guess without looking into any details that _maybe_ something got broken inside of busybox's wget applet. I'll dig into it deeper tomorrow, and let you know what I find.

True.

I do not observe that behavior when I repeat your downloads using the Microcore 4.0 release CD:

Code: [Select]

tc@box:~$ version

microcore_4.0

tc@box:~$ tce-load -w sstrip ; ls -l /tmp/tce/optional

I see from your output that you are using a http proxy.  That proxy might not be responding properly to the particular http commands that wget uses to implement the -c request.

[SvOlli]

That thing with the http proxy is a good observation. It works without one, but 3.8.4 also works using the same proxy:

Code: [Select]

svolli@box:~$ version
tinycore_3.8.4
svolli@box:~$ tce-load -w sstrip ; ls -l /mnt/hda1/tce/optional/sstrip.tcz*
Downloading: sstrip.tcz
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.0 416 Unknown
Connecting to proxy:8080 (192.168.242.1:8080)

So now know, what we need to look for: it's a bug in the busybox wget, when using the -c option over a proxy server:

Code: [Select]

svolli@box:~$ wget -c http://distro.ibiblio.org/tinycorelinux/4.x/x86/tcz/sstrip

If nobody has done it 'til then, I'll file in a bug report tomorrow. For now, it's bedtime.
