is there a working way to get all of the graphics in my Archived box? Jun 18, 2014 07:01 PM

The tinyurl one downloads something that doesn't seem to be a n executable. I'll play with the other if I've got some time, and will report back. KK4YEL Kevin Zari

David, thanks for the URLs. I'm a Mac guy myself, and agree with the open source / free tools for developing s/w. If you need someone to help test your code, Let me know. I've got a FreeBSD box as well as the Mac , and VM capabilities. As an aside, I looked at http://www.eqsl.cc/qslcard/GeteQSL.cfm and it is pretty straight forward. Am I correct is stating that the username / passwords would be sent in plain text when making the calls as documented in the cfm? If true, it is not such a good thing, especially because if intercepted, the integrity of the accounts could be compromised, and the data stored in someone's account, modified.

I truly appreciate your helping give more background on your successes and possible solutions. I absolutely love eQSL, don't get me wrong. I am very appreciative to have such a service, and gladly support with donations. But, for me, I can't rely on a third part app that only works on an operating system like XP, that has had its support stopped by Microsoft due to end of life. The web iOS moving toward device agnostic delivery of data. That means not O/S or platform specific. That's the beauty of pure HTML, ADiF, and PDF, for example. Bulk download of images of confirmed QSO is a feature that should reside on eQSL for true end user ease, but I understand the potential load issues with the server. Reading through the English support forums, there have been several requests and suggested architecture changes on this topic throughout the years. Now that hardware / processing power has increased, and storage is cheaper, could we think about readdressing this feature request, perhaps as a pay per use feature? I think having such a download feature built into eSQL would provide end users more benefits than it did pain for the developer(s). I know about limited resources, but what if it got more folks using the service, and generated more revenue to sustain the site? The electronic eQSL cards are one of the main attractors to the site, and the bulk download "on demand" could occur only once per user (make it a fee based service for the first big one). If written properly, and policy set correctly, the subsequent ones could be limited to 100 at a time, or some other value. You could even have it an option that, like a news group, it gives a weekly digest mailed to you each week. That could limit the load on the server since eQSL could run the batches when they see the server(s) load is low. Either way, my particular issue with the third party app does seem to be related to windows 7 and his app. To further complicate things, I run a Mac, so the windows 7 was a virtual machine, but I've tested it on a friend's win7 box, and same issue. I did manage to get the download working from a friend's XP box. As more and more people find XP not being supported by MS, and as more vulnerabilities that are no longer patched get attacked, I assume the author of the original tool will re-write it. One final question, where are the specs to your API's written/ published? I'd like to find more info on them to see if I could help him port his tool over to something other than Winbatch, which is a crazy expensive solution. KK4YEL Kevin Zari

Could you both post you O/S version? I tried under windows 7, and it fails with: "a referral was returned from the server." KK4YEL Kevin Zari Edited by KK4YEL Kevin Zari on Jun 17, 2014 at 08:57 PM

The author of those programs told me that perhaps something changed on eQSL because the stand alone one doesn't work any longer, and the other requires $100 HRD, which I do not have .

Don't have any outstanding reports of this but eQSL may have changed the way the download architecture works. I would troubleshoot it now but I am being pulled in 15 directions already, all more urgent in regards to my business and personal life. I'll file this in my todo folder and if and when I can, I'll fix it and let you know. I apologize again that it doesn't work for you.

I couldn't get the standalone version to work, could you ? This feature needs to be part of eQSL. something that allows you to download all or selected images in zip / rar file... KK4YEL Kevin Zari

There needs to be some way to export all images to a zip file or something. I don't mind clicking on each one, but since they were already archived, it's not easy to visually remember where I am, especially as the number of images grows. I know there was one written for windows a while back, but I can't get it to function. The author stated that eQSL may have changed something to make that break. Surely, I am not the only one desiring this feature, and would donate more for this feature to be implemented. KK4YEL Kevin Zari |
