Script does not seem to work with (at least) frugal

[kouze]

Hi guys,

first of all thanks for this useful script. It is working fine for omicron based servers (usenetserver, eweka, newshosting).
Unfortunately, the method used to check the existence of the articles is failing with frugal server (main one, I used the ipv6 one but I guess the result will be the same with ipv4) as, while frugal's server confirms the article is avaible, it is not once you really download the articles.
It seems you are using STAT as a default (hardcoded) CHECK_METHOD. I tried changing the parameter to HEAD but this is not as obvious as additional coding would be required, hence I can't confirm if HEAD method would work for frugal as well.
Would you be able to do some testing on frugal's servers ?

In addition, on my side I've written an additional script that will be run just after yours to stop the potential download and mark the NZBID as good or bad, as one of my purpose of using the Completion script is only to check the data and not download it.
Unfortunately: I can't set the the forcefailure = No as it is completely stopping further processing to happen
Forcefailure = Yes would work if I let the download of the 2 files to finish, but it is a waste of time as we already know that the NZB is dead.
Hence: would you be OK to implement a custom parameter at the end of force_failure to indicate that the Completion Check has failed?Something like: NZBGet.editqueue("GroupSetParameter", 0, "CompletionCheck=False", nzb_id)

Then in my additional script I could clearly know that the completion script either was a success or not, even without downloading anything :)
If not possible or sounds a bad idea, np, I'll add the line manually :)

Thanks

Hi @kouze,

Thank you for reporting this issue and for the helpful suggestions!
This highlights an area I need to improve even NZBget itself. I'm going to take a deep dive into all of this by nzbget v25.
