Problem downloading zip file #11

Closed devolution2409 closed 3 years ago

devolution2409 commented 6 years ago

Hi, basically i wanted to update the whole application with a github release link. My json is configured properly, with the link being: https://github.com/devolution2409/Lidl-Soundboard/releases/download/1.1.2/LIDL_Soundboard.zip

If i try to download the zip through the QSimpleUpdater, it will download a 1KB corrupted zip. However, if i set QSimpleUpdater::getInstance()->setDownloaderEnabled(url,false);

The link will be opened in the default browser, and it will correctly download the 9MB file.

Am i doing something wrong? Thanks in advance

Hello!

Sorry for the (very) late reply, I did not catch the notification email about this issue.

It is possible that the QNetworkReply class does not handle redirections as it should (check this line for more info). For the moment, you might want to play with the user-agent string (more info, it may affect how the download is delivered to your computer.

I will test the downloader with GitHub releases later this weekend, maybe I can come up with a fix.
