SecureBlackbox 16: When I try to download the source code package from My Control Center, I get only a small file (not an archive). Why?
Note: This article applies only to SecureBlackbox Legacy. For future development please consider using the latest version.
This problem happens sometimes due to missing authentication information - the file is provided only when the server identifies the requesting user and in some (client-specific) situations this doesn't happen.
To solve the download problem, below are your next steps:
- Use the same browser to login to the site and to download the files.
- Don't use download managers. Let the browser download the file.
- If the download still doesn't work, change the browser to Firefox (we have had a couple of reports about Chrome failing to download the files).
If the above is not possible, follow the steps below:
- Copy the URL to the text editor (e.g., Notepad).
- Modify https://sbb.eldos.com/path/to/filename.ext to include the username and password, so that the URL looks like https://username:password@sbb.eldos.com/path/to/filename.ext (where "username" and "password" are replaced with your login name and password on the support site).
- Copy back the modified URL to the browser or the download manager.
