No progress bar during "Get URL"

[johnmaclulich]

I have implemented a client solution that requires downloading linked files from remote servers. The "Get URL as Container part2" function worked perfectly.

However, if the downloading file takes anything but a few moments to populate the container in the client's database, it looks for all intents and purposes as if FM has frozen: there is no indication of progress of the download at all.

The best I can manage is to temporarily go to a layout with a message on it, telling the user that the download is in progress, and return when the download is complete. However this gives no indication at all of progress.

I figure it is probably not too difficult to add such functionality into the script (using Groovy or Java) but my skill level isn't up to the task. A simple progress bar is all that would be needed.

Has anyone got any suggestions as to how this could be accomplished - either within the script or otherwise?

Or perhaps 360Works could point me in the right direction?
