[Download API] 403 Forbidden trying to download with token
Posted: Sun Oct 06, 2024 2:40 pm
Starting yesterday (Saturday, 5th October 2024) the download api is always returning Error 403-Forbidden when downloading factorio with username and token to authenticate.
Funnily it still works when opening the link in a browser where you are already logged in (i guess it uses the cookie auth instead of the parameters in that case, which causes the params to be ignored and the download to succeed)
Examples:
Open this link in a private browser tab, results in the error:
The Nix factorio package is also unable to download factorio cause of that.
