I heard about not bad application-fix zip, is able to: repair encrypted data from ZIP archives, repair self-extracting (SFX) files, repair ZIP files larger than 2 GB, restore ZIP files from damaged media (floppy disks, CDs, DVDs, Zip drives, etc.), the ZIP file recovery tool can check file integrity, repair corrupted ZIP archives on the local area network, fix the Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive in ZIP archive error.

I need to load a zip file from the local filesystem in AIR. The docs on the web site show a loadBytes method.

http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/docs/

But the latest release doesn’t include it.

http://codeazur.com.br/lab/fzip/

What happened to that method? Is there a way to use FZip with a local zip file?

thanks for the reply… i did not realize that trying to get this stuff to work on mac would be such a chore, i’ve spent hours on it and thought i finally had it working.

it doesn’t cache in either safari or firefox and it’s not the server, everything else caches fine. i am using the step by step process of zipping the files then injecting the checksum using the mac command line. i’m sure it’s just some issue with the mac’s zip.

i really wish you guys had access to a mac to look at this stuff, i don’t have a pc but it you are going to drive me to buy Windows just to get your utility to work.

Hi Moses, happy new year to you too!

Unfortunately i don’t know how to help you with caching and that Safari error.. here, caching ZIPs works like a charm. I woudn’t know why this would fail, as we’re using URLStream to load ZIPs and caching should be enabled by default. Also if you look at the demo on the FZip homepage, the browser caches the file (at least here on Windows). Maybe it’s some setting on your server that prevents caching, or an issue with Flash and Safari?

Hi Claus, and happy new year –

I’m running into a gnarly FZip issue: Zip files do not seem to cache in browsers!

This means that users have to wait for the same image series to download multiple times. We need to find a fix for this or FZip won’t be viable for our project.

I’ve tried changing the extension to .jpg and .html, as well as removing the extension, to trick the browser into caching the files… none of these tricks seem to work. Is there some way we could manipulate the file header to force browser-caching?

(By the way, on Mac Safari browser, the activity window shows an error every time I load an FZip file, unfortunately I can’t read the entire thing because that window’s view controls are locked, it reads “Operation Could Not Be Completed (WebKitErrorDo…” then gets truncated by the window. Not sure if it’s this failure to complete the load that is causing the lack of caching perhaps.)
