URL Snooper truncating the full URL...
« on: March 01, 2008, 02:34 AM »
Just as an example, try to get the video URL (.flv file) for this youtube video:

http://youtube.com/watch?v=IVkkCVh5t0E

Using another sniffer program, the correct download URL should be:
http://74.125.15.165/get_video?video_id=IVkkCVh5t0E&origin=ash-v414.ash.youtube.com&signature=62ADCEB78A1B190EFEB059A25E85677412047940.0B04305103B0A44DD6AA53C072F87942D4DD03A0&ip=75.3.203.211&ipbits=16&expire=1204358974&key=1&OBT_fname=get_video.flv

This is the URL that URL Snooper gives me:
http://74.125.15.165/get_video?video_id=IVkkCVh5t0E&origin=ash-v414.ash.youtube.com&signature=62ADCEB78A1B190EFEB059A25E85677412047940.0B04305103B0A44DD6AA53C072F87942D4DD03A0&ip=75.3.203.211&ipbits=16&expire=1204358974&key=1

Note the Snooper URL is truncated after "key=1" and doesn't include the rest of the correct URL which has the .flv file referenced. What's going on here? Do I have URL Snooper incorrectly cofigured, or why doesn't it return the full URL?

Thanks for any help!

Mouser: any update on when you might have time to fix the problem? Just curious since it's been a few months.

I've been busy with some freelance work but i'll be updating all of my main programs in the next few weeks and I will be sure not to forget this issue.
