Download Accelerator Pro is one of the most popoular and downloded software for accelerate the files dowload. It is an eccellent product, and I want to signal some little strange things that I have seen in it. I am testing the last version of DAP (4.3.02) on all the Microsoft operative systems; these are the "strange things": -------------------------------------------------- 1) Win9x UNICODE If we try to download a file (is the same if it exist or not) that contain an unicode char in it (%01, %02, ...) the web browser, where DAP is implemented for the files download, freeze it; if we go in the DAP window program (that stay in system tray and DON'T alert the user with a window on top), we can see the message "Internal Application Error", and the download file is NOT reported on the download files list. When we close this alert window, the browser If we retry to download the same file, the download window open and we will receive the following alert message: --- Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library Runtime Error! Program C:\Program Files\DAP\DAP.EXE abnormal program termination --- After some seconds DAP kill itself and it DON'T report the download in its file list. Instead if we try to download other files with the unicode char in them, DAP will alert with "Internal Application Error", and ONLY with 2 dowloads of the same files DAP kill itself. These are some examples that we can insert in IE or Netscape or in DAP: 1)http://127.0.0.1/%01.zip 2)http://127.0.0.1/test%03.mp3 3)http://host.com/%04test.exe 4)http://host.com/test%01%03%08test.mpg ONLY SOME of the unicode chars are vulnerable. -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 2) WinNT/2k long filename If we try to insert the following string in our browser, DAP give the SAME errors as the "Win9x UNICODE" (first internal error, and after the VisualC++ error with kill) : http://127.0.0.1/aaaaaaa(until we arrive at the end).zip -------------------------------------------------- I think that the problem is the Visual C++ library, as I can see from the errors. I will be very happy if someone want to help me in this bug study. I have NOT report the thing at Speedbit because it is only a bug study, nothing is definite. Thanks
