Problems with https file download

TC9 / BCB2007 / Indy




Hi,


during the application test with TC i initiate a file download via https query. After this query the application freeze  and the filedownload (4kb in background) ends 3-4 minutes!!! later.


If i use http or start the application without testcomplete the download need only seconds.


 


Is there any solution, maybe a testcomplete option?


 


Thanks


Tilo

    Hi Tilo,


     


    Could you please explain how you start downloading the file in TestComplete?

    Hi Tanya,


    the application initiate the https filetransfer. This is one point at our test protocol. Only during this test the appliaction freeze some moments and return after some minutes with a result. The file download is a simple post https message and write a stream during the download of the 4kb file. Without testcomplete it passes in 5 seconds. 


     


    Best regards

    Hi Tilo,


     


    I would suggest that you use the Runner.CallObjectMethodAsync method to initiate the download process during the test. This allows you to continue executing the test and check the download a bit later in your test. Please refer to the "Calling Methods Asynchronously" article for details.
