Track downloads' status

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

I need to make somehow, some system, to track whether downloads are completed or failed. I tried to make this via php.

Tried to limit the connection speed for smaller downloads (to have the time to detect a cancel) (+ ignore_user_abort(true)) in a while where i also checked the connection_status.

/* dl headers */
ignore_user_abort(true);
while(feof($f))
{
echo fread($f,5*1024); /* 5 kb/s */
flush();
sleep(1);
if (connection_status()!=0)
exit();
}
/* track after the download */

Well it doesn't work because the browsers are waiting for script execution to end before popping-up the download dialog. So the users waits like 20-30 seconds, then the download dialog pops, and instantly saves the file.

So, probably the only solution is something to intermediate the download. If you know some Java/../.. component which can do this (no matter free or payed) would be nice.

Or maybe, somebody knows a way to do this from php.


Thank you
