Hi all this code for downloading from url.
const ZigetError = error{
CreateSockFail,
InvalidAddr,
ConnectError,
SendError,
RecvError,
};
pub fn main() !void {
var gpa = std.heap.GeneralPurposeAllocator(.{}){};
defer _ = gpa.deinit();
const allocator = gpa.allocator();
var args_it = try std.process.argsWithAllocator(allocator);
defer args_it.deinit();
_ = args_it.skip();
const host = (args_it.next() orelse {
std.debug.print("no host provided\n", .{});
return error.InvalidArgs;
});
const remote_path = (args_it.next() orelse {
std.debug.print("no remote path provided\n", .{});
return error.InvalidArgs;
});
const output_path = (args_it.next() orelse {
std.debug.print("no path provided\n", .{});
return error.InvalidArgs;
});
std.debug.print("host: {s} remote: {s} output path: {s}\n", .{ host, remote_path, output_path });
var conn = try std.net.tcpConnectToHost(allocator, host, 80);
defer conn.close();
var buffer: [256]u8 = undefined;
const base_http = "GET {s} HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: {s}\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n";
const msg = try std.fmt.bufPrint(&buffer, base_http, .{ remote_path, host });
_ = try conn.write(msg);
var buf: [1024]u8 = undefined;
var total_bytes: usize = 0;
var file = try std.fs.cwd().createFile(output_path, .{});
defer file.close();
while (true) {
const byte_count = try conn.reader().read(&buf);
if (byte_count == 0) break;
_ = try file.write(&buf);
total_bytes += byte_count;
std.debug.print("written {d} bytes to file '{s}'\n", .{ total_bytes, output_path });
}
but when i run it using this command.
the output file looks like a response header not the actual file.
Whats going on here? I'd like to know.
