LOAD "ML:$",8 => LOAD "GAME",8 ==> truncated directory listing

[fredsa]

Repro steps

1. Reboot Meatloaf, wait for WiFi to connect.
2. Reboot C64.
3. Try to load the GAME folder
   • LOAD "ML:$",8
   • LOAD "GAME",8
     Alternatively:
   • LOAD "HTTP://C64.MEATLOAF.CC/GAME",8

Expected behavior

Full GAME directory is loaded, 7358 bytes, as can be verified with:

$ curl 'http://c64.meatloaf.cc/game/' -H 'User-Agent: MEATLOAF/' -o dir.raw
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed   Time    Time     Time  Current
                                 Dload  Upload   Total   Spent    Left  Speed
100  7358    0  7358    0     0  59219      0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 59338

Actual behavior

Sometimes (though rarely), 7358 bytes are loaded as expected.

Most of the time, a corrupted/partial directory is loaded, and it's always 3860 bytes, which happens to cause corruption at the "LATENTFUSION" entry straddles the 3860 byte mark in the directory file.

[fredsa]

The issue appears to be two-part:

1. Meatloaf is not able to determine the payload size in the initial HEAD request because Content-Length isn't set:

curl 'http://c64.meatloaf.cc/game/' \
  -H "Accept:" \
  -H 'User-Agent: MEATLOAF/20250401.05 (C64; 6510; 2; NTSC; EN;)' \
  -r 0-261 \
  -I

Note, the server isn't required to set the header, per RFC 9110:

A server MAY send a Content-Length header field in a response to a HEAD request (Section 9.3.2);
a server MUST NOT send Content-Length in such a response unless its field value equals the
decimal number of octets that would have been sent in the content of a response if the same
request had used the GET method.

2. Meatloaf incorrectly determines the payload size to be the size of the first chunked response in http.cpp

        case HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA:
            Debug_printv("HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA, len=%d", evt->data_len);
            {
                if (esp_http_client_is_chunked_response(evt->client)) {
                    int len;
                    esp_http_client_get_chunk_length(evt->client, &len);
                    meatClient->_size = len; // /<================= ******* HERE *******
                    Debug_printv("HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA: Got chunked response, chunklen=%d, contentlen[%d]", len, meatClient->_size);
                }
            }
            break;

Using:

LOAD "HTTP://C64.MEATLOAF.CC/GAME/",8

The log reveals this is where the size is set to 3860 bytes:

[idolpx]

Ahh... it should be incrementing the size for each received chunk.

[fredsa]

Based on the log messages, I'm not sure that would work.

It appears there are 8 HTTP_EVENT_ON_DATA events. Each contribute len bytes, but I believe they are all for the same first 3860 chunk. I suspect that the second chunk is never seen because the client closes the connection.

Since the content length is unknown, and the number of chunks to be received is unknown, I believe all the client can do is to keep loading until a chunk of size 0 is received which marks the end of chunked encoding.

—
The alternative would be to require all servers to respond to the HEAD request with a Content-Length`, but that goes against the RFC, and feels hacky. In general, it would be better if we could get rid of the HEAD request and just go straight to a GET. That would save and HTTP request and round trip.

[idolpx]

This listing is generated dynamically so it doesn't know the length. That's why it is sent using Chunked encoding.
I'm going to run some tests now. I think I can adjust it to work.

The redirect for the short code "ML:GAME" should be corrected now.
