Dear all,

http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/50
I had problems downloading the Hello GEF # examples (HelloGEF?.zip). In
fact, the last time I went there, most screenshots were not available too.
Does anyone here know of an alternative download location for the files?

Thanking you in advance and best regards,
Sin Lee

What Webbrowser did you use? I seems to me that this only works
correctly when using the Internet Explorer. I wasn't able to download
the examples with Mozilla.

Best regards,

Dear Andreas and all,

You are right. Originally, I used Mozilla. On your advice, I tried IE and
it works. It seems that today even the eclipsewiki.swiki.net have a
problem with Mozilla.

It will be a shame that a wiki page for cross platform application only
allows IE which is Windows and MacOS only. I don\'t think its the authors
fault but that of the website hoster.

Thanks for all the inputs to the thread. I really appreciate it.

Best regards,
Sinleeh

I'm using galeon 1.3.3, which is mozilla 1.3 based, and all the
screenshots and file links are working for me at 2003-04-10 1:58PM EDT.
Older versions of mozilla _might_ be being confused by the double forward
slash in the download URL. When looking at the source, I see URLs like
this: http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/.uploads//demo/HelloGef1.zip, which
probably isn't a correct URL, but recent browsers seem to be able to deal
with it.

Look at the URL used for downloading:

http://eclipsewiki.swiki.net/.uploads//demo/HelloGef1.zip

See the "//"? I'm betting the wiki was configured with a path ending in a /
where the software didn't expect one. Most browsers compensate for this
potential error by treating an aribtrary run of slashes as a single slash,
but apparently the version of Mozilla you're running doesn't. (BTW, Netscape
6 handles this just fine.)

You can always read the HTML source to get the URLs and edit them into a
form your browser can handle. You might also consider a more robust browser
such as Opera.

Yeah, I just logged in to the swiki and fixed those links. They should now
work for any browser as they are valid now.
