URL Get HTTP Document Bug (LV2012)

[dan_u]

I know the Internet Toolkit is deprecated, but since it's still available it should still work.

Unfortunately the URL Get HTTP Document.vi does not work in Internet TK 2012 for other than text files. It worked fine in LV8.5 with the corresponding Internet TK, but the 2012 version only returns the last part of the content.

I'm going to switch to the HTTP Client palette, but it's still a pain to find such problems in TKs that used to work fine - losing a lot of time to find the issue.

See attached snippet which reads a .rtf file from ni.com. HTTP client palette returns correct contents, URL Get HTTP Document only the last chunk.

If nobody responds here, where do I report bugs? The "Product Suggestion Center" points me to the idea exchange, which is not really the place for bug reports.

Hi,

I managed to get the URL Get HTTP Document.vi from the ITK to download .tiff files (to save them to a hard-drive location) from a connected device in LV2012 32-bit.

But now I need to transfer this code over to a computer unsing LV2012 64-bit, hence no ITK - has anyone made/got a VI that will do the job of "URL Get HTTP Document.vi", without the need for the ITK libraries, in LabVIEW 2012 64-bit? Or can show me a way of doing this, with relative ease?

Many thanks!

Zangar, did you try the HTTP client palette as mentioned in my first post? This is not from the ITK so it might work in LV 64-bit.

Any updates on the bug? It's really annoying when porting existing LV code to a new LV version and encountering such issues.
