UrlLoader/nginx problem

Magnusviri

I'm loading a file from Dropbox and it ends up containing this html:

html head title Welcome to nginx! /title /head body bgcolor="while" text="black" center h1 Welcome to nginx! /h1 /center /body /html

If I open the url I'm downloading on the same device using Safari then I get the file, not this html. If I delete the file (using os.remove()) I still get this html. If I write over the file with giberish instead of event.data and then switch it back to event.data it is still this html.

I've searched the web for nginx and it is proxy software. I've turned off Wifi, I've connected to a VPN, I've verified my iPhone doesn't have any Proxy settings.

There is actually a web search hit on the Gideros forum relating to Countly.

Does UrlLoader use nginx? And is it going to someone else's server before it goes to the url we specify?

Nope, UrlLoader doesnt use nginx, nor goes to a server before it hits the destination.

Another thing is that I am using my downloader app that downloads Lua code and then runs it. I have 2 apps on my phone, one with retina on, the other without, besides that they are identical. It seems that the nginx webpage only loads in one of the apps. Last night it was my retina app. I connected to my phone via iExplorer and manually deleted the nginx files and then it started working. But tonight it is my non-retina app that has the problem now. This is very strange.

Gorkem, thanks for the info. If it wasn't Gideros maybe the problem was Dropbox. Sure enough.
