Getright not working with authenticated downloads
Posted: Tue Oct 26, 2010 5:30 pm
I use FlashGot to integrate GetRight with Firefox for downloads.
I have a general problem with sites that require a login to download files. For example, www.soundcloud.com. When I click to download a song, FlashGot passes the download to GetRight, but doesn't have the correct name. eg. http://soundcloud.com/steven-wilson/12- ... d/download appears in GetRight as FZZMyIyIMU9j. If I press OK to start the download in GetRight, I get "403 - Forbidden".
I had this recently with some Rapidshare downloads too, although it used to work.
I guess it's not getting a cookie or login authentication from Firefox to GetRight through FlashGot.
Downloads work fine when started from IE 8 -> GetRight.
