How to download an image with libsoup and save it to filesystem in gjs

[Michael Teuscher <mk teuscher gmail com>]

Hello everyone,

I've encountered a problem google is not able to solve.

I am currently trying to download an image with libsoup and then save it with GIO to the filesystem in $HOME/.cache/folder/image.extension

Sadly I always end up with a 'Failed to convert UTF-8 string to JS string: Invalid byte sequence in conversion input' error.

Maybe you guys know what I am doing wrong

Code I use to save my image

image is an MessageBody from libsoup

_saveImageToFile: function (image) {

        let path = GLib.get_home_dir() + "/.cache/spotlight/test.asd";

        let file = Gio.File.new_for_path(path);

        file.replace_async(null, false,

            Gio.FileCreateFlags.REPLACE_DESTINATION,

            GLib.PRIORITY_LOW, null, (file, res) => {

                let stream;

                if (!res.had_error()) {

                    stream = file.replace_finish(res);

                    let bytes = GLib.Bytes.prototype.new_from_bytes(image.data);

                    stream.write_bytes(bytes, null);

                    // Write more data with stream.write ...

                    stream.close(null);

                }

            });

        //let output = fstream.get_output_stream();

        /**let dstream = new Gio.DataOutputStream(fstream);

        for(let byte in image.get_chunk(0).get_as_bytes())

            dstream.put_byte(byte,null);*/

        //fstream.close(null);

        return path;

    }

Code I use for accessing the image

_httpSession.queue_message(request, function(_httpSession, message) {

                if (message.status_code !== 200) {

                    reject(message.status_code);

                    return;

                }

                global.log("Suceeded API Call");

                resolve(request.response_body.data);

            });

I hope this was the right place to ask...

Thanks in advance
