Java: resume Download in URLConnection


I wrote a program that downloads some files from some servers.
Currently program works properly.
But I want to add resume support to it.
I'm doing it like this But the result file is corrupted:

....

File fcheck=new File(SaveDir+"/"+filename);
if(resumebox.isSelected() && fcheck.exists()){
    connection.setRequestProperty("Range", "Bytes="+(fcheck.length())+"-");
}

connection.setDoInput(true);
connection.setDoOutput(true);

BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream (connection.getInputStream()); 

pbar.setIndeterminate(false);
pbar.setStringPainted(true);

java.io.FileOutputStream fos ;
if(resumebox.isSelected()){
    if(fcheck.exists()){
        if(connection.getHeaderField("Accept-Ranges").equals("bytes")){
            fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(SaveDir+"/"+filename,true);
        }else{
            fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(SaveDir+"/"+filename);
        }
    }else{
        fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(SaveDir+"/"+filename);
    }
}else{
    fos = new java.io.FileOutputStream(SaveDir+"/"+filename);
}

....

I'm Testing it on a server that I know supports resume.
I downloaded some bytes.(72720)
Then Tried to resume it.
Then I opened file with a Hex editor , At offset 72720 the first Bytes are repeated:
Bytes 0-36: FLV.............«..........onMetaData
Bytes 72720-72756: FLV.............«..........onMetaData
It Starts download from the begining!
While when I do it by wget it does correctly and responses by Content-Range field!
Server responses with "302 FOUND" and a "206 Partial Content" in wget log.
Can "302 FOUND" cause the problem?

What is the problem ?
Thanks.


Solution

  • Try:

    connection.setRequestProperty("Range", "bytes=" + fcheck.length() + "-");
    

    Lowercase the range specifier per the spec. Also, if your partial file was 500 bytes, that means your byte range that you have is 0-499, and you want 500+.
