Download tests files from local HTTP server doesn't work

[ffrommel]

Hello,

I am developing my own PTS test and I want to download the needed tests files from a local HTTP server. In order to do that I wrote the URL http://LOCAL_IP_SERVER/remote_file in the download.xml file and put the NoInternetCommunication flag on TRUE. However, when I install the test I face the following error: "Internet support is needed and it's disabled or not available. Downloading of needed test files failed."

Of course, I tried to reach the server and download the files using a browser and works OK.

Many thanks in advance.

Fabián.

Hmmm, what local IP block are you using? I may need to improve the detection of the Internet block handling for PTS.

I am using 172.16.1.0/24, and the server is the 172.16.1.1.

Anyway, I believe the problem is in the detection of Internet conectivity, I think PTS ckecks it first and if there is no internet access it crashes, although the specified site is in local network. I've just tried using another network where I have Internet access and it worked fine.

Thank you.

I think I may know what's happening and hope to have a resolution in Git later today or tomorrow... Will post back when ready for testing.

The other option too would be just tossing it in your download-cache location, local or remote, and then it would get picked up automatically too.

OK, great. I would be glad if you solve that issue.

Referring to the remote download-cache solution, I tried that but I had some problems too, please check the other post where I was been participating.

Thank you again.
