[RESOLVED] Download dialog box doesn't show for some sites

Post by risingevil »

I got most of my software from CNET's Download.com. But ever since NoScript updated to 2.0, I can no longer download from that site. It probably has something to do with the fact that download.com's Download Now button isn't a direct link to the file, instead it is a link to another page which auto-triggers a download link. I have already tried allowing everything one that page (multiple times, since allow one object reveals the existence of another object).
And of course, cnet.com, (which owns download.com, making download.cnet.com), is on my whitelist.

Some help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Please check whether the problem persists in 2.0.1 (it shouldn't).

It is fixed now. Thank you. That was quick, was it just a small bug? I'm just curious as to what the problem was.

Again, thanks for quick response.

It was <META> refreshes being broken when a certain pattern of <SCRIPT> and <NOSCRIPT> were present in the page.
It had been fixed already in 2.0.1rc1.
