TextureIO.newTexture with remote (http) files

[loicus]

Hi all,

I am trying to create a new tecture from a remove file on the net with the following code snippet,

1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10

try {                  System.out.println("Getting the URL\n");                  URL url = new URL("http://people.na.infn.it/~carrillo/rpc/frog/crop/637566997.png");                          System.out.println("Getting the Texture\n");                                   texture = TextureIO.newTexture(url, false, "png");               }               catch (IOException exc) {                   exc.printStackTrace();                   System.exit(1);               }

but its basically stuck for ever at the newTexture line...

Same code with local file works like a charm...
And the URL is fine and I am getting the image instataniously in my web browser, so...
What did I miss?


Thanks,
Loic

Hi

Which version of JOGL do you use? It is strange as I used com.jogamp.opengl.util.texture.TextureIO several times in such a case and it was working.

I am using jogl-2.0
But it is good to hear that it is suppose to work ;-)

Please can you try to load the image without JOGL just to check if the problem really comes from it? Use Class.getResourceAsStream(), check its return value isn't null.

when I do:
InputStream stream = jfrog.Common.class.getResourceAsStream("http://people.na.infn.it/~carrillo/rpc/frog/crop/637566997.png");
I get a stram that is equal to null... but I can't understand why, since the url is ok in my browser...
Can it be because of the tilde ("~") ?

I also tried this:
InputStream stream = new URL("http://people.na.infn.it/~carrillo/rpc/frog/crop/637566997.png").openStream();
but it get stuck for ever again...

any advice?

Nevermind....
I made it working:

              try {
                 URL url = new URL("http://people.na.infn.it/~carrillo/rpc/frog/crop/637566997.png");
                 if(url!=null)texture = TextureIO.newTexture(url, false, "png");                 
              }
              catch (IOException exc) {
                 System.out.printf("Texture not found");
              }
