Library example always shows ZERO as Download speed(user agent is overwritten with empty string) #159

Could you enable debug to get more information. speedtest.WithUserConfig(&speedtest.UserConfig{Source: viaIP, Debug: true})(speedtestClient) |

I tried the server(13384) you mentioned, but it returned the correct download rate. |
|
My print statement looks like this and always gives 0.000 as result:
I enabled Debug as you suggested and got this output: |
curl http://speedtest1.cwpanama.net:8080/speedtest/random1000x1000.jpgCan you get a response with this command?
I used the same code as you.
According to this comment, it also be zero when you use speedtest-go binary. |
|
With me the speedtest-go binary reports non-zero Upload & Download speeds, unlike the example which zeroes-out the Download speed. At least in my system. Tried the Curl with --output curl.txt and the terminal shows this: |
|
So, is this going to be fixed? the Download speed is by far the most important measurement and yet the library version always shows zero download. |
|
Yes, we will fix it this week, it is caused by empty user-agent. You can temporarily fix this issue by adding a UA. var speedtestClient = speedtest.New()
speedtest.WithUserConfig(&speedtest.UserConfig{UserAgent: "user"})(speedtestClient)
if server, err := speedtestClient.FetchServerByID("13384"); err == nil {
server.DownloadTest()
} |
sorry, we may need |

I added the user agent stuff to my initialization, so the rest of my code is unchanged. Now when I run the speedtest from my program (as I said, nothing else has changed) I get the Speedtest library return this error:
The debug output I get is this: I then updated to the latest speedtest version (1.6.9, I had 1.6.7) but the output with user agent remains EOF. However, the pre-compiled binary (speedtest-go) works as usual. |
|
However... when I changed the User Agent value from "user" to that of a Samsung Galaxy A53, it stopped producing the EOF error. So, I am using this:
|
I dont know. This may be related to the test server UA policy(eg: The user agent is limited to a minimum length must > n?) And an empty UA will always trigger an EOF error. |
|
With version>=1.6.8, You can set UA selectively, because we have temporarily fixed this problem, default UA will not be overwritten with empty string. remove UA setting is ok. var speedtestClient = speedtest.New()
speedtest.WithUserConfig(&speedtest.UserConfig{})(speedtestClient)
if server, err := speedtestClient.FetchServerByID("13384"); err == nil {
server.DownloadTest()

On my Raspberry Pi 2B I downloaded this library and executable. The executable runs and displays values for both Upload and Download. However, when I try the supplied example on my GO program, despite requesting both Upload and Download, when my program finishes executing GOSPEED via the library, I shows this (I used server 13884):
Latency: 312.56ms, Download: 0.00000, Upload: 1.835000
And the code taken from your example is:
So, what am I missing? why the downloaded executable shows a download speed but the library example reports it always as zero? And BTW, what are the units of those speeds?
