FTP.test download
FTP.tdl
Test a download link
Intention
This command can be used to test a download-link, if it works or not.
Here is what we get with a valid URL:
$$URL=http://download.microsoft.com/download/9/2/7/927A4802-FC1C-4A71-9A2D-2DCEAC11B266/KB2716433/SQLServer2008-KB2716433-x86.exe
FTP.tdl|$$URL|$$RES|$$TXT
PRT.$$TXT
MBX.$$RES
ENR.
Here we have a valid server and an invalid link:
$$URL=http://download.microsoft.com/downloax/SQLServer2008-KB2716433-x86.exe
FTP.tdl|$$URL|$$RES|$$TXT
PRT.$$TXT
MBX.$$RES
ENR.
Now we will use an phantasy server and see what we get:
$$URL=http://download.fa2.de/download/9/2/7/927A4802-FC1C-4A71-9A2D-2DCEAC11B266/KB2716433/SQLServer2008-KB2716433-x86.exe
FTP.tdl|$$URL|$$RES|$$TXT
PRT.$$TXT
MBX.$$RES
ENR.
At last we will specify an (invalid protocol) empty URL:
$$URL=
FTP.tdl|$$URL|$$RES|$$TXT
PRT.$$RES-$$TXT
MBX.Ready
ENR.
