Hello,

I get the following error when I do this: 

haxelib run node-webkit
Looking for node-webkit url...
Main.hx:167: Invalid chunk

And the following when I do this:

haxelib run node-webkit setup
Looking for node-webkit url...
Called from sys.net.Socket::$statics line 1
Called from Main::main line 59
Called from Main::setup line 231
Called from Main::lookForNodeWebkitURL line 193
Called from haxe.Http::requestUrl line 809
Called from haxe.Http::request line 376
Called from haxe.Http::customRequest line 555
Called from haxe.Http::request line 374
Called from haxe.Http::requestUrl line 807
Uncaught exception - Invalid chunk

haxelib upgrade shows no new version.

If you are wondering where this came from: Tried to start up HIDE and ran into a couple of issues.. which I tracked to this haxelib 

haxelib run HIDE
Looking for node-webkit url...
Main.hx:167: Invalid chunk

Do you require any further information?

(example: I am on a windows 8 machine)

Hello,

Seems like http request error. https://github.com/as3boyan/node-webkit-haxelib/blob/master/src/Main.hx#L195

node-webkit-haxelib tries to get contents "http://s3.amazonaws.com/node-webkit/"

I searched info on this error, it's hard to understand why it happens, maybe firewall or some software blocks, as a temporary workaround, you can download node-webkit binary for Windows http://dl.node-webkit.org/v0.9.2/node-webkit-v0.9.2-win-ia32.zip

And extract it to haxe/lib/node-webkit/bin, so "nw.exe" should be located in the root of bin folder.

Or maybe it lacks some permissions, not sure.

Hello,

Workaround worked. Thanks.

Making a bin directory in HaxeToolkit\haxe\lib\node-webkit\1,0,4\ with the extracted zip file worked.

(I can safely exclude the firewall as a cause, since disabling the firewall does not remove the error. )
