Title: History - Download errors?
Post by: jjwhalen on July 24, 2010, 07:34:37 AM
If this discussion has come up before, I apologize.

Should bad downloads be recorded in History?  The following d/l event showed up in Tasks (in the proper color) as "Download error" but doesn't appear in History:
Quote4+1 [hostname]

7465   yoyo@home   7/24/2010 00:04:04   Started download of ogr_100703001006_78-in.og2   
7466   yoyo@home   7/24/2010 00:04:06   Incomplete read of 43.000000 < 5KB for ogr_100703001006_78-in.og2 - truncating   
7467   yoyo@home   7/24/2010 00:04:06   Finished download of ogr_100703001006_78-in.og2   

Note that <report_results_immediately> was set true at the time, so it wasn't displayed in Tasks for very long--possibly within your 15 sec cycle.  But saving that exception, would you expect such a busted download to be in the History?

There is no valid tasks to begin with and BT only records tasks.
A download error, is an error before it technically becomes a task.

Got it...except that displaying it in the "Tasks" list rather says it technically is a task :)
