Download Object

[CBSection31]

Hi all,

I might be missing something obvious here, so please don't hesitate to tell me if that's the case...but it seems to me as though the Download Object doesn't allow variable strings in the URL.

I have a server set up on my hard drive, with a file called "test.ini". When I attempt to download the file using the Download Object, putting in the actual link "http://localhost/test.ini", it works perfectly.

However, when I set a global string to "localhost" (to make it easier to change the domain for my game once it goes live) and try to download "http://" + string + "/test.ini", the download fails.

Is the Download Object incapable of handling variable strings as opposed to an exact URL? Or am I missing something obvious?

Thanks in advance for your time and help!

Should work.

As a debugging test did you happen to put the results of "http://" + string + "/test.ini" into an object so you can see it has generated the right path?

I just tried to replicate the problem. But ehh... seems to work for me.

You've either made an error in the expression, or you gave the global string an invalid input...

...And now I feel like a complete idiot. I had an extra l between the l and h in localhost. I must have checked it twenty times, too. Fixed it and it now works fine. Sorry to trouble you guys!
