Topic: vla-GetRemoteFile versus "secureload"

[Peter2]

I have a lisp which uses vla-GetRemoteFile to download a zip-file (see relating topics here in the forum).

It works fine when "secureload=0", but it stops working at the line with "vla-GetRemoteFile" when "secureload=1"

Anyone who can confirm this? Is there really a dependency between these things or did I stumbled about a simple side-effect in my code?

Is the download location within a trusted path?

[Peter2]

No - the download source is the internet (http), the download-target is %temp%

[ChrisCarlson]

Add %temp% within your trusted paths and try the routine again.

[Peter2]

Hmm - I see no difference at the moment.

Try this method in place of the ActiveX getremotefile method.

Hi Lee

thanks - I use this code already in another tool. My main target of this posting is to find out and to document this (possible) dependency.

Many users have problems with this function - maybe we can find here the reason (or one of some reasons) of this behaviour.

I believe you also have to add the website to your trusted paths or it might not work as well.

Current state of the discussion with Autodesk ADN:

a) With "secureload=0" it does the download without problems.
b) With "secureload=1" you have to add the URL to "Trusteddomains" and it should(!) download

But...
there is a problem in current versions, different to older versions: "b)" does not work, and the only solution is "secureload=0". This is logged as Change Request for Autodesk Devs.
