All, when I use the Xojo.Net.HTTPSocket (of 2017R3) to download a webpage, and I try to show the downloaded file in an HTMLViewer, I observed this:
HTMLViewer1.LoadURL(Url2Download) // Fast (normal, because this is the original, online file. 
HTMLViewer1.LoadURL(downloadFile.ShellPath) // OK but a bit slow (5 sec)
HTMLViewer1.LoadURL(downloadFile.NativePath) // very SLOW (30 to 60 sec)
I’m using this in the PageReceived event:
[code]Dim buffer As Text = Xojo.Core.TextEncoding.UTF8.ConvertDataToText(Content)
ResponseArea.Text = buffer
dim mbTemp as MemoryBlock = Content.Data
dim mbStr as new MemoryBlock(Content.Size)
try
mbStr.StringValue(0, mbStr.size) = mbTemp.StringValue(0, mbStr.Size)
catch OutOfBoundsException
// No value
end
dim sResponse as String
sResponse = mbStr
sResponse = trim(sResponse)
sResponse = DefineEncoding(sResponse, Encodings.UTF8)
Dim DownloadFileName As String = UrlToFilename(Url2Download) + “.htm”
Dim newFolder as FolderItem
newFolder=SpecialFolder.Documents.Child(“Downloads”)
Dim downloadFile As FolderItem = newFolder.Child(DownloadFileName)
'Dim newFile As New Xojo.IO.FolderItem(downloadFile.NativePath.ToText)
Dim t As TextOutputStream
If downloadFile <> Nil Then
t = TextOutputStream.Create(downloadFile)
t.Write(buffer)
t.Close
End If
[/code]
UrlToFilename is just an MD5 method applied to the filename.
Any idea why this code is slow or very slow?
Thanks
