Suggestion on WebParser

[MerlinTheRed]

Did you try using Download=1 and then use another WebParser to parse the downloaded file?

Did you try using Download=1 and then use another WebParser to parse the downloaded file?

I'm currently using
Download = 1

and

Code: Select all

	-- GET PARSER AND FILEPATH
	local webParser = SKIN:GetMeasure('measureRSS')
	local downloadedFilePath = webParser:GetStringValue()

	-- FILE ACCESS AND FILE DATA
	local file = assert(io.open(downloadedFilePath, "r"))
    local data = file:read("*all")
    file:close()

works like a charm, but its sad you cannot go over the rainmeter course. Maybe you can add it to the webparser page. I guess some other authors might be interessted in this solution, cause de facto the Webparser cannot handle big regexp/inputfiles/entries

just for "test" measures:

before I needed to wait 1 minute for a timeout to happen, so the whole processing took very long. Now I get the whole file content in 0.1 seconds. So I guess its about 36.000 times faster =)
