[Ndn-interest] download a file using PyNDN

After

interest = Interest(name3)

try adding

interest.getExclude().appendComponent(Name("%C1.FS.file")[0])

This is because NDNFS not only serves the Data packet segments of the file, but a “meta info” packet where the name has the component “"%C1.FS.file”. The code above should exclude it.

Let us know,

Hi Jeff,

I have a file test.txt being served on my ndnfs server. Prefix: /ndn/broadcast/ndnfs
I implement SegmentFetcher in the following way and print content and error message

 name3 = Name(url)
 dump("Express name ", name3.toUri())
 interest = Interest(name3)
 dump(interest.toUri())
 interest.setInterestLifetimeMilliseconds(1000)
SegmentFetcher.fetch(face, interest, None, counter.onComplete, counter.onError)

This is what i get:
/ndn/broadcast/ndnfs/BigBuckBunny_4s_simple_2014_05_09.mpd?ndn.MustBeFresh=true
onError
2
Got an unexpected packet without a segment number: /ndn/broadcast/ndnfs/BigBuckBunny_4s_simple_2014_05_09.mpd/%C1.FS.file/%FDY%28Q8

When I do an ndndump on the consumer, I see:
1495816236.074843 From: 192.1.242.150, To: 192.1.242.151, Tunnel Type: TCP, INTEREST: /ndn/broadcast/ndnfs/BigBuckBunny_4s_simple_2014_05_09.mpd?ndn.ChildSelector=1&ndn.MustBeFresh=1&ndn.InterestLifetime=1000&ndn.Nonce=3797640908

1495816236.085709 From: 192.1.242.151, To: 192.1.242.150, Tunnel Type: TCP, DATA: /ndn/broadcast/ndnfs/BigBuckBunny_4s_simple_2014_05_09.mpd/%C1.FS.file/%FDY%28Q8

I thought fetching segment number was internally done in your Segment Fetcher util. Do I need to implement it some way on my end as well?

Hi Ishita,

We have NDNFS producing sample data at memoria.ndn.ucla.edu<http://memoria.ndn.ucla.edu>. The PyNDN code below uses the SegmentFetcher to fetch the segments of a file (a JavaScript file). NDNFS has split the file into 12 segments, which SegmentFetcher retrieves to supply the content to the callback. SegmentFetcher documentation is here:
https://github.com/named-data/PyNDN2/blob/master/python/pyndn/util/segment_fetcher.py#L142

import time, sys
from pyndn import Name, Interest, Face
from pyndn.util import SegmentFetcher

face = Face("memoria.ndn.ucla.edu<http://memoria.ndn.ucla.edu>")
SegmentFetcher.fetch(face, Interest(Name(
  "/ndn/edu/ucla/remap/demo/ndn-js-test/named-data.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js/%FDX%DC5B<http://named-data.net/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js/%FDX%DC5B>")),
  None, lambda content: sys.stdout.write(content.toRawStr()),
  lambda errorCode, message: sys.stdout.write("Got error " + message))

while True:
    face.processEvents()
    time.sleep(0.01)

Hi Jeff,

Yes
​, the producer is responding to Interests with Data packets representing the file. I run NDNFS on the producer.

Hi Ishta,

In NDN, there is a producer and consumer. The consumer sends an Interest and the producer (or a cache in the network) responds with a Data packet. When you say “an entire file from an NDN server” I assume you mean a producer that is responding to Interests with Data packets representing the file. What producer software is running on the server?

Hi All,

Has anybody used PyNDN to download an entire file from an ndn server?
I see or receive jibberish data in form of one data packet but don't seem to copying the exact content of the file(no matter the size, i.e irrespective of the fact that the file gets divided to multiple segments or just one segment).
Any guidance with this would be helpful.

Thanks,
Ishita
