Download images not working

Post by maw444 »

I am trying to download an image from https://www.meteobridge.com/wiki/index. ... g_Hardware

The image I am trying to download is http://connect.meteobridge.com/files/me ... 3-v1.3.bin

However, none of the download links are working.

Why?

I have tried this on several computers and none of them seem to work

Directly from the webpage it does not work.
By copying the link and copying it to the browser addresline => it downloads OK.

Some other links on the same page work OK, others need copying.

Reason is, that the links pointed to "HTTP" addresses while some browsers do block when directing from a HTTPS page to HTTP. I changed the links to HTTPS which does not provide extra security here but gives the browsers what they like to enforce.
