Problem with URL to download datasets and annotation #1881

Closed lpantano closed 8 years ago

lpantano commented 8 years ago

Hi,

First, thanks and congratulation for this awesome tool.

I am trying to learn a little bit and play around, but I found a problem when I want to load any of the 3 example data set that you have included with the tool.

I am having different errors I think all related to the same problem (files that try to be downloaded are not in the expected URL)

The first error showed to me was that the /Users/lpantano/.caleydo_3.1/cache/caleydo/download/3.1/samples/ccle.cal is not compatible with this version of caleydo.

when I looked at this file:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>302 Found</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Found</h1>
<p>The document has moved <a href="https://data.icg.tugraz.at/caleydo/download/3.1/samples/ccle.cal">here</a>.</p>
<hr>
<address>Apache Server at data.icg.tugraz.at Port 80</address>
</body></html>

I just addressed this downloading the file and uploading as a existing project, but then I had the same issue with homo_sapiends.zip and wikipathways_homo_sapiens.zip. When I downloaded manually both of them and extracted, then I got everything working.

I downloaded the last caleydo version from the web.

I just thought that may help, let me know if I can fix this from the user side.

thanks a lot in advance!

Thanks a lot @lpantano for pointing this out. We've been moving data to different URLs recently and we might have missed updating these.

@sgratzl and @mstreit - do you know what happened to these data at those URLs?

sgratzl commented 8 years ago

it is the same url but a different protocol: http -> https

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1884230/urlconnection-doesnt-follow-redirect

Yes, it only applies to redirects to the same protocol. An HttpURLConnection won't automatically follow redirects to a different protocol, even if the redirect flag is set.

@sgratzl I was asked to revert the redirect to HTTPS for Caleydo data - That is everything belonging to Caleydo will not be redirected to HTTPS. Do you need that commit switching to HTTPS considering newer releases don't use said URL at all?

sgratzl commented 8 years ago

it is mainly about the next release. However, we have to decide first, which other url we are using. In the meanwhile it is better to have https in the code than http.

@lpantano try again and don't forget to remove the cache directory first.

It worked! Thanks a lot!
