UrlLoader not enough memory

folded

Hi.

I'm trying to load files from server with UrlLoader, and somehow "not enough memory" pops up on a certain file.


A source code with actual URL is as follows. (You can download the file at URL.)

--------------------------------------------------

function func(event)
print(#event.data)
end


-- please get rid of -s in the URL. I'm not supposed to post an link here.

loader = UrlLoader.new("http://175.207.4.34/test/test.bin");



loader:addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,func);

--------------------------------------------------


Using io.read also makes same error. Here is a sample.


--------------------------------------------------

function load(filename)
local file = io.open(filename,"rb")
if file==nil then
return {}
else
local result = file:read("*all")
file:close()
return result
end
end

--------------------------------------------------


I'v tested file's size and a file size is between 5111792 bytes and 5242863 bytes can't be read by UrlLoader.
Once you read the file bigger then 5242863 successfully, you can read a file which size is in the zone (5111792 ~ 5242863) as long as you don't rerun the Gideros player.

@folded indeed, seems like a bug with a internal buffer size.
Currently I can't tell if it is on Gideros side or Lua/environment side
But what you can do instead for now is to read with smaller buffer like:

local function copy(src, dst) local srcf = io.open(src, "rb") local dstf = io.open(dst, "wb") local size = 2^13 -- good buffer size (8K) while true do local block = srcf:read(size) if not block then break end dstf:write(block) end srcf:close() dstf:close() end

or use lua socket for URLs (attached example, but you may need to re-add lua socket files to project, depending on your OS and Gideros installation path)

Thanks for your answer. Hope it would be fixed soon.

Has there been any news about this?
