UpDownload generates 403 Error in IE7  Bottom

  • Hello!

    I am running updownload on my site for over a year now and it's going smoothly. I just got a new user yesterday who wanted to download something and it didn't work, they got an error 403 (forbidden). I tried it on my computer at got the same problem (both computers running IE7), however in IE6 the file downloads properly. Short of removing the .htaccess in the folder, does anyone have any work arounds?
  • I have had nearly the same bug. Because of using wrong download-urls.

    If you visit your site with http://www.site.com, than check your download-urls, if they have the same prefix ()

    Correct:
    http://www.site.com/modules/UpDownload/store_folder/file.txt

    Wrong:
    modules/UpDownload/store_folder/file.txt

    It seems that relative urls aren't working with IE7
  • Thanks for your reply. Stupid IE7.

    The links in updownload are like this: index.php?name=UpDownload&req=getit&lid=43

    I guess the module knows which file is item #43 and gets the correct file from that. So I don't know where to check if it's generating the link relatively or not. I guess I'll have to do some hunting in the code.

  • Just update all your downloads and add the correct prefix (http://www.domain.com/ )

    Or update your mySQL-table-entries with phpMyAdmin (or similar)
  • there must be a place where I can edit the code to show the complete link instead of relative. This way I don't have to change each one individually and I don't have to worry about it everytime I add a new file to the module.

    I'll give this a try tonight and get back to you.
  • I took a look at the way UpDownload creates the file download (located in the dl-util.php file about 2/3 down). When you have secure downloads "on" it does it via modifying the HTML headers, when secure downloads is "off" (set in admin settings for the module) then the downloads are done by simply linking to the file on the server. I have secure downloads "on" and I want to keep it this way. I will have to do some more research into why IE7 has some issues with this.
