here is my code. it connects to the server successfully.But connect.getContentLength() returns -1; and downloaded file contains zero bytes. any suggestion will be deeply appreciated.
try {
// Open connection to URL.
HttpURLConnection connection =
(HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
// Specify what portion of file to download.
connection.setRequestProperty("Range",
"bytes=" + downloaded + "-");
// Connect to server.
connection.connect();
// Make sure response code is in the 200 range.
if (connection.getResponseCode() / 100 != 2) {
System.out.println(connection.getResponseCode());
error();
}
System.out.println(connection.getResponseCode());
System.out.println(connection.getResponseMessage());
// Check for valid content length.
int contentLength = connection.getContentLength();
if (contentLength < 1) {
error();
}
/* Set the size for this download if it
hasn't been already set. */
if (size == -1) {
size = contentLength;
stateChanged();
}
// Open file and seek to the end of it.
file = new RandomAccessFile(getFileName(url), "rw");
file.seek(downloaded);
stream = connection.getInputStream();
while (status == DOWNLOADING) {
/* Size buffer according to how much of the
file is left to download. */
byte buffer[];
if (size - downloaded > MAX_BUFFER_SIZE) {
buffer = new byte[MAX_BUFFER_SIZE];
} else {
buffer = new byte[size - downloaded];
}
// Read from server into buffer.
int read = stream.read(buffer);
if (read == -1)
break;
// Write buffer to file.
file.write(buffer, 0, read);
downloaded += read;
stateChanged();
}
