[Invalid] 302 redirect fails with FlashGot + GetRight

Post by Steffen »

I'm using Firefox 8 + FlashGot 1.3.5 + GetRight 6.5 on Windows 7.

When I click the button "Download starten" on http://www.computerbase.de/downloads/in ... -url=49642 the server issues a 302 redirect to http://get.geo.opera.com/pub/opera/win/ ... _Setup.exe but then FlashGot/GetRight wants to download a non-existing file called "INDEX.HTM". Eventually the download fails.

I'm the webmaster of computerbase.de. How can we fix this? Or is it a bug in FlashGot/GetRight?

Are you sure you're passing through FlashGot and not through GetRight's native plugin?
Could you check wheter alt+Click works for you (it does for me)?

Alt+Click does nothing for me, though that might be because I'm running Windows 7 in VirtualBox.

When I click the button "Download starten" after having uninstalled GetRight, then FlashGot displays the error message "Download manager not propery installed. Can't find GetRight executable". So I guess this means that I'm not using GetRight's native plugin but really FlashGot.

Solution: The page containing the download link must not have any URL parameters. Otherwise GetRight fails.
