03 / TASK AND FAILURE
claude-code/cpp-t1 #24 · read the task the agent was given
Claude Code wrote this cpp project from the task below. It does not run on a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine as written. Task given to the agent: TASK: HTTP File Downloader Write a program that downloads files from HTTP/HTTPS URLs with support for resumable downloads, progress tracking, concurrent downloads, and checksum verification. FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS: - Accept one or more URLs as command-line arguments - Display a progress bar during download showing: percentage complete, bytes downloaded, total size, download speed, and estimated time remaining - Support resumable downloads via HTTP Range headers: if a download is interrupted, restarting with the same URL and output path should resume from where it stopped via --resume flag - Support concurrent downloading of multiple files via --parallel flag with configurable thread count (--threads, default 4) - Support downloading all URLs listed in a text file (one URL per line) via --list flag - Verify downloaded file integrity via --checksum flag accepting algorithm:hash format (e.g., --checksum sha256:abc123...) - Support custom HTTP headers via --header flag (e.g., --header "Authorization: Bearer token") - Support following HTTP redirects (up to 10 hops) and report the final URL - Set connection timeout via --timeout flag (default 30 seconds) and retry failed downloads via --retries flag (default 3) with exponential backoff - Save files to a directory specified by --output flag (default: current directory), using the filename from the URL or Content-Disposition header - Print a download summary to console: file name, size, time taken, average speed, and checksum verification result - If no URLs are given, download a set of sample public domain text files from Project Gutenberg, display progress for each, and print a summary table - Handle errors: DNS resolution failures, SSL certificate errors, HTTP 4xx/5xx responses, disk full, and network timeouts Create a complete C++ project for a clean Ubuntu 22.04 machine with only G++ 12+ and CMake 3.22+ installed. Include: - Source code - CMakeLists.txt with all dependencies (direct and transitive) pinned to exact versions - README.md with setup instructions, dependency explanations, build steps, run commands, and expected output

]Written by Claude Code (study run M1T1P24L4). It failed as written and was repaired by changing only its environment.
Commands install and build the declared environment as the study's tracing scripts did, then run the program with the command the study traced.
Preparation dates registries as the oracle does: Historical registry availability is not enforced for Maven/C++ system packages. Maven updatePolicy controls refresh frequency, not publication date.

# HTTP File Downloader (C++ - Trial 1) An HTTP file downloader featuring progress bars, resumable downloads, concurrent transfers, and checksum verification. ## Dependencies - **libcurl** (system) - HTTP client library for performing download requests - **nlohmann/json** (3.11.3) - JSON parsing for configuration file support ## Setup ```bash mkdir build && cd build cmake .. make ``` ## Usage ### Download a single file ```bash ./downloader https://example.com/file.zip ``` ### Download multiple files concurrently ```bash ./downloader https://example.com/file1.zip https://example.com/file2.zip -w 4 ``` ### Download with checksum verification ```bash ./downloader https://example.com/file.zip --checksum abc123def456 ``` ### Specify output directory ```bash ./downloader https://example.com/file.zip -o ./downloads ``` ### Download from JSON config ```bash ./downloader --json config.json ``` ## Features - **Progress Bars**: Console-based progress display with percentage, speed, and size info - **Resumable Downloads**: Resumes interrupted downloads using HTTP Range headers - **Concurrent Transfers**: Thread-based parallel downloads with configurable worker count - **Checksum Verification**: SHA-256 checksum verification for downloaded files - **JSON Configuration**: Load download tasks from JSON configuration files - **Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with exponential backoff on failures
