  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) Yeah, that makes sense. LDView will notify the server that it accepts gzipped content, but will work fine either way. It will just work faster when the response is gzipped. At this point, I'm not sure when the next version of LDView will be (...) (18 years ago, 23-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) I'll either do that, or just start mirroring the entire ldraw library to media.peeron.com. How soon will you need this? I guess your script should work transparently either case though - gzipping shouldn't be required, just accepted. Make (...) (18 years ago, 23-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) OK, I got it working. Feel free to delete the file whenever you want. So, do you plan to turn gzip support on for the ldraw.org server? It would make a really big difference for unofficial part downloads. --Travis (18 years ago, 20-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: LDList stud count feature (Was: LSC - current status?)
 
(...) Yes, and now I know what the problem was: the scan takes 56 minutes on my computer, with no sign of life from LDList, so I assumed that LDList must have had crashed. But of course, it takes some time to count the studs from some 5 000 files. (...) (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) I don't do this now, but I think I can do so fairly easily. Just to check, if I add the following header to my request, ldraw.org will gzip automatically? Accept-Encoding: gzip If I do that, do I need to add another accepted encoding to let (...) (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) The HTTP header can say when a particular file has been modified last - but not a bunch of files in one request. Again, it's already included in the tar format, as well as each file size (which can be useful to make sure your request didn't (...) (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) If the client supports it, yes. But unless LDView specifically says it does, the server will assume it can't. (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LDList stud count feature (Was: LSC - current status?)
 
Do you have the latest version? 'Search by stud count' wasn't there until 4.0 (I think). Check the version in the caption bar (top of the window). Get 4.1 from: (URL) installing, you must also do a 'Scan' again, to rebuild the index. (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) MPD would work for any text files, as long as they don't include /\n0 FILE /. One thing MPD would not provide is the mod-timestamp for each file. That could be listed at the top of the response (before the first file) or maybe in the HTTP (...) (18 years ago, 18-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) I'd say it wouldn't *have* to return the dependent files. LDView can turn around, and make an additional request. (...) Well, the server can support multiple files per request, and client programs can use it as well as they can. (...) Use MPD (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Automatic download of unofficial parts in LDView
 
(...) That starts getting more difficult for a few reasons. First of all, the tracker would have to return all the dependent files on the tracker in addition to the requested files. Many of these files could well be already present on the end-user's (...) (18 years ago, 17-May-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
