files not downloading
Howdy,
I am having trouble downloading both Fox-it Reader and XnView.
The link under the red button says it is supposed to be downloading the correct file.
Fox-it: Outdated download link removed
XnView:Outdated download link removed
Instead it is opening the following web page: https://portableapps.com/apps.
Downloaded several other updates (linked through Sourceforge) successfully.
Thank you,
AZ Lynx
foxit works
for me.
Referrer
The only way it wouldn't work is if you're sending out a fake referrer in your browser (usually only possible with an extension). Either the correct referrer field (in this case, the app page) or a blank one (for those who disable referrer for privacy) will work just fine. But a faked one will fail, like images for many sites.
re: referrer
John,
Don't really know what that is. Did remember that there was a setting in the download manager I use. (I don't use it to accelerate, only for restarting a download if the server had a problem. My ISP has spotty service, it's usually their server that has a problem.)
Anyway, the setting in the download manager was to use the url itself as a referrer. I changed it to not use any referrer. That seems to have worked. Thanks for the help.

Download Manager
Yeah, that was your download manager causing the issue. A referrer is part of http in which the browser, when fetching a specific page/file/image, tells the web server which page it just came from (the 'referring' page). All browsers have this built in. Some browsers let you disable it (keep it blank) for privacy reasons. Some extensions let you change it for random political protest and other reasons.
Many sites have their server setup to prevent leeching, where a website will link to images on another site and use up their bandwidth. Many also do it for downloads to prevent other sites that are merely directories from direct linking to their downloads, siphoning off traffic from the site of the actual host of the download.
The end result was that your download manager was faking a referrer, which was not accepted by our server.
