Error in Download Area
Hi GT!

I continue to get an error when trying to access the download area for plugins:
Unexpected response from Gossamer Threads:

Any ideas?

Hello,

I have it too & posted in this forum.
I think they are updating their download area.

The demo Links-SQL on this site has the same problem.

It's a problem in GT::URI, but hopefully I can fix it with our Apache. I'm working on a fix..

Cheers,

Yep, it is working now.

However I would add a suggestion here, related to the download area.

When the downloadable plugins are listed, in the column "Your Version" the value is "None", however the plugin is downloaded, but not installed.

The "Your Version" should display the version of the downloaded plugin, not just the version of the installed plugin.

The other solution is to add a new column "Your Installed Version", which will show versions of installed plugins. The "Your Version" column would display versions of downloaded plugins.

Please consider adding this easy, but useful solution.

Best regards,

The error message comes again.

And there is an input areabox. There seemed some plugins messages in it:

148f
Status: ok
57 Spider 2.5.3 Gossamer-Threads Inc. ... ...

Could you check it?

If you were trying to download the spyder that is a pay plugin.

Just contact GT and they will set you up!

 I know I can not download pay plugins.

What I mean is I can not get the normal plugins list, only get sometext in a arearbox. You can go GT online demo for detail: http://admin:admin@www.gossamer-threads.com/...ugin_man_do=download

The link you gave does indeed show the textbox.

In my own installation, it works, though....

In my one test server (installed Links SQL 2.0.3), it can show plugins list. But after you download the plugins, most show error message in plugin manager page:

Unable to load plugin XXXXXX Reason: No Install.pm file found in tar!

So you can not install the plugins.

But in my official server (installed Links SQL 2.1.1), it can not show normal plugins list (like I described in the previous post).

Is it means the problem is version related?

Yes, it can show plugins list. But most plugins (detail below) still have problem:

BigWhat
Count_Impressions
DirectoryDepth
Error_Jump
LinksForum
PHP_PPC_Banner
SearchCache
User
XMLResults

If I download above plugins, it only download a 220 byte file, the file only contain the following text:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<TITLE>200 OK</TITLE>
</HEAD><BODY>
<H1>OK</H1>
