Creating packages for files that don't have direct links

Dusty · 2005-01-26 20:51:50

I'm trying to make a package for the new Ensmer milestone. The new version supports having settings in the home directory, so I thought it was time for a real package...

Only problem is java.net seems to have changed their download feature so it isn't possible to download from a direct location. You have to go to a dumb URL like this:

https://ensmer.dev.java.net/files/docum … dsrc%2ejar

which downloads a file called:
Ensmer-0.1+milestone-1-src.jar

Is there any way to support this kind of source in a PKGBUILD? This is remeniscent of sourceforge, except its possible to link directly to a mirror on sourceforge...

Thanks,
Dusty

try
https://ensmer.dev.java.net/files/docum … _10746.dat

It works in a browser. However, it looks like wget doesn't support https. It gives a Unsupported scheme error.

how did you find that filename? I'll want to know the method so I can find it when I release milestone 2, etc.

I don't know if it would work though. wget does support https; I've used makepkg (which uses wget) to get java.net files before. Maybe the server is interfering to throw the error...

I'll experiment with it a bit more when I have time. Thanks for the hint.

It's just the first part of the URL in your first post (before the "?").

yeah, it looks like the params after the "?" are for logging or something server-side

:oops:

I feel simple.

Thanks for the tips. I'll try my hand at making a PKGBUILD with it; we'll see what happens. Probably its using a servlet to count the number of downloads or something; its still possible it won't be able to download...

You can also get more info about downloading process running wget with -S option like this:

 wget -S https://www.dev.java.net/files/documents/2312/10746/file_10746.dat?filename=Ensmer%2d%30%2e%31%2bmilestone%2d%31%2dsrc%2ejar

Which shows that phisical name of the file is file_10746.dat which is normally converted to Ensmer-0.1+milestone-1-src.jar by the web browser (9 Content-disposition: attachment; filename=Ensmer-0.1+milestone-1-src.jar) but not wget.
