HTTP.Download or HTTP.DownloadSecure not working properly

[MoonX3]

Why does HTTP.DownloadSecure or HTTP.Download never work? or sometimes rarely? A popup happens for the download dialogue, but disappears incredibly quickly and goes to the next step. Is it because of the link? Tried different sites with direct download (discord, google drive, anonfiles, uploadhaven), but to no luck.

Here is the script:

function ShowStatusWindow()

StatusDlg.Show(MB_ICONINFORMATION, false);

StatusDlg.ShowCancelButton(true, "Stop Download");
end



function DownloadStatus (BytesRead, FileSize, TransferRate, SecondsLeft, SecondsLeftFormat, Message)

StatusDlg.SetMeterRange(0, 65534);

StatusDlg.SetMeterPos((BytesRead / FileSize) * 65534);


if StatusDlg.IsCancelled() then

StatusDlg.Hide();
return false;
else

if FileSize == 0 then

StatusDlg.SetStatusText("Size Unknown (" .. Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. "MB downloaded so far)");
elseif FileSize > 0 then

StatusDlg.SetStatusText("Downloaded " .. Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. " MB of " .. Math.Floor(FileSize/1024/1024) .. " MB");
end

if (Message == "") and (BytesRead > 0) and (BytesRead == FileSize or FileSize == 0) then

StatusDlg.Hide();

Dialog.Message("Download Complete", Math.Floor(BytesRead/1024/1024) .. " MB have been downloaded");
return false;
else

return true;
end
end
end



ShowStatusWindow();

HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://cdn-121.anonfiles.com/3e82Pctep0/e0bb789d-1606496950/LongDriftSpeed.mp4", SessionVar.Expand("%Desktop%\\Moonie.zip"), MODE_BINARY, 20, 443, nil, nil, DownloadStatus);

The download and progress works perfectly. Your URL is invalid and does not link directly to a file - a download/login page is displayed instead. Before stating that something does "never work", you may want to check the log file for errors and hints what might be wrong.
