Camarade_Tux Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Maybe because of a download manager ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Nope, no download manager.I should have mentioned this last night, but here's what happened.1. I was on a Win2K system and clicking on each link would give me a 'page not found' error (after accepting the disclaimer).2. I went onto an XP system later and tried the links again. The two mirrors would download properly, but the main link would give me a '403 forbidden' error.3. I finally went back onto Win2K and tested again. Since Tomcat changed the download system, I would be brought to a 'thanks for downloading' page after accepting the disclaimer. However, nothing would download at all for all three links.

tain Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 SM,We are getting some really inconsistent 403 reports from your IP. The latest ones look like the request and referrer are reversed. I can't spot a trend and am, quite frankly, stumped as to why this is happening to you.I've successfully downloaded all files with three different browsers on two different hosts.You aren't the only one who has had a problem, but you ARE the only one kind enough to report back so far. Anyone else having issues?I changed the referrer checking code around a bit...please see if you get different results now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super-Magician Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 (edited) Thanks for the response, but I was just about to edit my post above when my computer froze. Everything works perfectly now !Thanks!Minor edit: Actually, it only works perfectly on my XP system. #3 (see above) still occurs on 2K. I am no longer getting any 403 or 404 errors.

Super-Magician Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Never mind. All seems to work well on 2000. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super-Magician Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 In both IE and Firefox on my computer, Yzöwl's name does not appear properly on the Links page. I think there is a problem with the rendering of the "ö" symbol.In IE, the name appears as 'Yz?'. In Firefox, I see 'Yz?wl' where the ? is not plaintext but some special graphic.

Camarade_Tux Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Yzöwl is written "Yzöwl" in the HTML source. I don't know much HTML but I know this is not recognized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 This is alright when using the iso-8859-15 encoding. This is what the HTML page is specifying and that's what the server obeyed to up till recently. I just checked it out and noticed that the server is sending the HTML page as UTF-8 now, which is not correct.Thanks for reporting this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 haha! Hey TC, remember when I mentioned some server changes "that shouldn't affect hfslip.org"? This is one of them I'll fix it when I get home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcat76 Posted August 18, 2006 Author Share Posted August 18, 2006 Improved compatibility with IE 5.0:- worked around improper navigation menu height- worked around non-support for JavaScript's "undefined" (downloading HFSLIP should work now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 21, 2006 Author Share Posted August 21, 2006 Improved display of download popups in case there's a scrollbar in some people's configurations and added complete support for IE7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tain Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Impressive show of support for antiquated and unfinalized browsers. Is there any browser that you *don't* go out of your way to support? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcat76 Posted August 22, 2006 Author Share Posted August 22, 2006 Netscape 4 I wish I could check in Safari and Konqueror as well but I haven't got a Mac nor a Linux box. But my code assumes that every "other" browser supports the current web standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
