Libragnar(Libtorrent Wrapper) LocalTorrent File, Instead of URL? C#/C++ - c#

Question:
Does anyone know how to add a torrent to LibRagnar using a filepath to a torrent, instead of a Url? (LibRagnar is a libtorrent Wrapper)
libragnar = C#
libtorrent = C++
Alternatively if anyone knows How I can use Libtorrent To add the torrent to a session, But use a local file (Whilst still controlling Everything else using Libragnar).But I am not sure where to start with Libtorrent.
Reason For Problem:
I have to use a filepath because the Torrent Requires cookie login to access it. So I either Need to get Libragnar to use a CookieCollection when getting a torrent from a URL or make it use a local ".torrent" file.
Problem:
I am currently trying to use a filepath instead of URL and the Torrent Status gives an error:unsupported URL protocol: D:\Programming\bin\Debug\Tempfiles\File.torrent. Which wont allow me to start it.
Example:
var addParams = new AddTorrentParams
{
SavePath = "C:\\Downloads",
Url = "D:\\Programming\\bin\\Debug\\Tempfiles\\File.torrent"
};
Edit: Answer from Tom W (Posted in C# Chatroom)
var ati = new AddTorrentParams()
{
TorrentInfo = new TorrentInfo("C:\thing.torrent"),
SavePath = #"C:\save\"
};
Note About Answer: I attempted to edit Tom W's post and add the answer he gave me in the Chatroom, However I guess it got declined? But Since he was the one who helped me I wanted him to get credit, and also wanted anyone else having this issue, to have an answer. So I had to add the answer to the bottom of my question.

From the libtorrent documentation it appears that:
The only mandatory parameters are save_path which is the directory
where you want the files to be saved. You also need to specify either
the ti (the torrent file), the info_hash (the info hash of the
torrent) or the url (the URL to where to download the .torrent file
from)
Libragnar's AddTorrentParams appears to be a wrapper around add_torrent_params and has a property called TorrentInfo. I suspect if you avoid setting the URL, and set this property to an instance of TorrentInfo instead, you ought to get the result you want.
Disclaimer: I've never worked with torrents before, don't know this library, and don't work in C++.

Selenium c# https://baseurl/config/dteg/vt2k/standard/vt2k-dev-standard.txt I want to extract vt2k-dev-standard.txt

when I press an icon in my application, it automatically generates a file and opens its contents in the url in a new tab or current tab whichever way you look at it
https://BASEURL/config/dteg/vt2k/standard/vt2k-dev-standard.txt
I want to read in the full url and extract the last filename and store it in a string. Can you please help me?
Thank you
I haven't tried anything yet. Anything I have tried either gets the previous url in old tab or just simply gets the base url.
Found out what I was looking for. For everyone who don't know here is the code:
Uri uri = new Uri("https://BASEURL/config/dteg/vt2k/standard/vt2k-dev-standard.txt");
string lastSegment = uri.Segments.Last();

C# and ExtendScript for batch processing of .incx files

I have a ton of .incx text documents clustered into their own individual subfolders that I need to iterate through and convert to plaintext as part of a C# winform app I've created. I have the latest version of InCopy and the ExtendScript Toolkit, and a .jsx script that works great to quietly and quickly create my plaintext files.
My problem/question is that there isn't much guidance on how to best launch this from within a C# class in a running 3rd party app, sending in relevant info. When I run my .jsx script, I need to send it a target folder from my app where it can find the .incx files.
The target folder(s) will be dynamic depending on other previous actions in my app.
I've found a few vague hints to solutions on Adobe's forums involving additional .vbs files and/or external temp files to hold arguments, but they're all pretty dated, so I thought I'd ask and see if anyone knew of a contemporary method. If anything is unclear, I'll respond right away to clarify.
Through a lot more Googling and my own trial and error, I have found my answer.
The best way I can find is to do all of my InCopy scripting in VBS and then use a Process instance to send in my arg(s) with cscript.
Example C#:
Process myScriptProc = new Process();
myScriptProc.StartInfo.FileName = #"cscript";
myScriptProc.StartInfo.WorkingDirectory = rootDir + "\\"; // rootDir being the path where my vbs lives
myScriptProc.StartInfo.Arguments = "MyScript.vbs " + filesPath; // filesPath is the arg sent to the script
myScriptProc.StartInfo.WindowStyle = ProcessWindowStyle.Hidden;
myScriptProc.Start();
myScriptProc.WaitForExit();
myScriptProc.Close();
MyScript.vbs
main
Function main()
Set myInCopy = CreateObject("InCopy.Application.CC.2015")
Set obj = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
myInCopy.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = 1699640946
myFormat = 1952412773
myExtension = ".txt"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objStartFolder = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(objStartFolder)
Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
For Each x In colFiles
If LCase(objFSO.GetExtensionName(x.name)) = "incx" Then
thisDoc = x
Set myDoc = myInCopy.open(thisDoc)
Set myStory = myInCopy.ActiveDocument.Stories.Item(1)
parts = split(x.Name, ".")
myFilePath = objStartFolder & "/" & parts(0) & myExtension
myStory.Export myFormat, myFilePath
myDoc.close()
obj.DeleteFile(thisDoc)
End If
Next
myInCopy.ScriptPreferences.UserInteractionLevel = 1699311169
End Function
I rewrote my JavaScript file in VBScript because judging from the tumbleweeds blowing through the Adobe forums, I was never going to get any answers as to why their documentation examples for calling DoJavaScriptFile produce object missing method errors.
The biggest hurdle I ran into after redoing my script in VB was that you have to use the super-secret enumerated decimal values for Adobe-specific things if you run the scripts externally. If you look at MyScript.vbs you'll see a few instances of what look like random 10 digit values. Those come from here:
http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5js_html_3.0.3i/idcs5js/index_Enum%20Suite.html
Bless the guy who created that resource, because I couldn't find that information in any of Adobe's documentation to save my life.
TL;DR: If you're trying to automate using processes and scripts that run outside an Adobe app, do everything in VBScript, and beware the mystery decimal enumerations.
useless footnote:
MyScript.vbs here reads all *.incx files from the passed in directory, exports as plain .txt (with the same filename, into the same dir), and deletes the original.

BackgroundDownloadAsync not downloading?

I'm trying to use LiveConnectClient.BackgroundDownloadAsync to copy a file from Skydrive onto my computer. My code is below (this is a C# Metro app running on Win8).
var copy = connect.BackgroundDownloadAsync(f.id, dest);
LiveDownloadOperationResult result = await copy;
The result I get back contains no error, yet when I go have a look I see only the first 1K of my file. So my questions are:
Has someone used BackgroundDownloadAsync successfully?
Can someone suggest something I might have missed, that would match the symptoms?
Thanks!
The answer is to add "/content" to the ID of the file you want to download. Otherwise, you get the metadata.

C# Absolute URI removes ".." from URL

I have to upload a file via FTP to ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com
My root directory on remoteServer contains an "upload" and a "download" folder. I need to put my file in the "upload" directory. But on log in, the server automatically puts me in the "download" folder.
I tried doing this:
string serverTarget = "ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com/";
serverTarget += "../upload/myfile.txt";
Uri target = new Uri(serverTarget);
FTPWebRequest ftp = (FTPWebRequest)FtpWebRequest.Create(target);
using(Stream requestStream = ftp.GetRequestStream()) {
// Do upload here
}
This code fails with: (550) File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
I debugged the code, and target.AbsoluteUri returns as ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com/upload instead of ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com/../upload (missing the ..)
If I put ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com/../upload in a browser, I can log in and verify this is the correct place where I want to put my file.
How can I get the FTPWebRequest to go to the correct place?
I believe you can encode the dots as %2E to keep the dots in your URI.
So something like:
string serverTarget = "ftp://ftp.remoteServer.com/%2E%2E/upload/myfile.txt";
Try this:
string serverTarget = "../upload/myfile.txt";
Uri uri = new Uri(serverTarget, UriKind.Relative);
Andy Evans' comment is correct.
Consider the URI: http://ftp.myserver.com/../. The .. means, "take me to the parent of this directory". But there is no parent! So when you derive the absolute URL, you're going to end up with http://ftp.myserver.com/ There is nothing else that the parser can do.
I think the problem is with the configuration of your FTP server. I assume that the directory structure looks something like:
ftproot
upload
download
It looks like the FTP service is automatically logging you to /ftproot/download. That is, the URI ftp.myserver.com gets mapped to /ftproot/download on the local file system. If that's the case, no amount of fiddling with the URI is going to get you anywhere. If the URI root is mapped to the download directory, there is no way you can, using the .. syntax, "go up one level and then down."
Are you able to upload using an FTP client such as Filezilla, or perhaps the Windows FTP command line tool? If so, what are the steps you take to do it? Can you make your code do the same thing?

ASP.NET MVC Get file from virtual path

For various reasons, in development I occasionally want to intercept a request for, say, ~/MyStyle.css
What I want to do is make the following snippet work:
string absFile = VirtualPathUtility.ToAbsolute(file);
return System.IO.File.ReadAllText(absFile);
This absolute path is absolute for the webserver though, it's not going to map to "C:\whatever". Is there an equivalent method to go to the file system? (Or a ReadFromVirtualPath etc.?)
Use Server.MapPath() to get the file system path for a requested application path.
string absFile = Server.MapPath(file);
or
string absFile = HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(file);
You can also use the OpenFile method on VirtualPathProvider to get a Stream pointing at your file
var stream = HostingEnvironment.VirtualPathProvider.OpenFile(file);
var text = new StreamReader(stream).ReadToEnd();
Generally this approach is preferable since you can now, at a later point implement a VirtualPathProvider where, lets say all your css files where located in a database.
