FOG Snapin Client download error

@Timo said:

…Section=ResponseHeader Detail=“Content-Length”-Headerwert ist ungültig…

This translates to “value of Content-Length header is invalid”! Possibly .Net does not like such a big value??

Is it possible to increase that? If so, where i can change that value?

Tom Elliott

@Timo Can you simply try updating? I removed the Content-Length setter in hopes that is all it takes to fix the issue at hand.

I#ve just updated to 7246 via GIT, but unfortunately the same error in Log, unable to hash File, The file is too long. This process currently only supports files with a size of less than 2 GB.

Timo

GIT 7248 the same…just forgot one thing from the Error Log Service Error:“Object reference not set to an object instance”

Sebastian Roth

@Timo Can you please post the full error you see (line number, …). Maybe even post a picture.

Timo

Sure i can, thx for your help, i really appreciate it

@Timo This seems to be a restriction in C# following the discussion here: http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/142532/appending-and-splitting-files-larger-than-gb

Possibly this is only happening because you have 32 bit Windows installed?? Please check! Or this might be a general restriction and we need to read large snapin files as chunks, @Jbob?

Hi Sebastian, no the Client runs an Windows 7 x64 Installation

Joe Schmitt

@Timo the original header problem is fixed. @Sebastian-Roth is correct in that the hashing error is a limitation of c#. I’ll see what I can do.

Joe Schmitt

@Timo for now you could set the snapin file to a batch script which downloads the exe from a samaba share or something and runs it.

Hi Jbob thx for your help. How can i realize that? I’ve an Synology NAS where i can store that, do you have an example script, maybe?

Joe Schmitt

@Timo Batch lacks the ability to download a file natively. Here is a vbs script which should do what you are looking for.

Save the code as “Bootstrap.vbs”, and update the http://fog-server/MyProgram.exe line to reflect a real URL where your snapin can be downloaded, the easiest way may be to just copy your snapin file to /var/www/html/, and then it is accessible via http://{fog-server}/MyProgram.exe, where Myprogram.exe is the file name. Also update references to MyProgram.exe to your program’s file name.

Note that this code is untested.

Use the following snapin settings:
Snapin Run With: cscript
Snapin Run With Args: //B //Nologo
Snapin File: Bootstrap.vbs

Bootstrap.vbs code:

'http://www.robvanderwoude.com/vbstech_internet_download.php

I’d opt for a batch file still as a stop-gap.

use xcopy to get the file. it supports UNC paths.

Hi there, at this moment i’m trying your script but i think it hangs in the download it now takes over 10 minutes, but i have no status window what is happening. The download from my fogserver manually tested runs fine

Timo

If i run it on the Client in an Dos box , with cscript bootstrap.vbs it comes up with an error after a few seconds "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest: For this operation is not enough memory available But has enough free Memory (60GB)

Tom Elliott

@Timo memory is not disk space. It sounds, to me, like it’s trying to put the whole file in ram. You may need to have the script copy the file locally then run it from the local machine.

Joe Schmitt

@Timo v0.10 allows for hashing large files. When it is released, can you confirm that the issue is fixed?
