Hi All,
curl-8.9.1-4.fc41.x86_64
How come Firefox can see this page, but curl can not?
First attempt:
$ curl -L https://icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop <https://
icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop> -o eraseme.html

Second attempt (that is Brave Browser user agent.
Firefox's did not work either):
$ curl -L --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64)
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/141.0.0.0

Hi,
Check the headers.
Some sites might block curls User-Agent.
Alternatively, the server might block you because curl is missing
cookies or other identifiable headers, for example authorization headers.
But we can only guess.
If you need the download links again, just check the JavaScript, or
monitor network calls from browser when you click the drop down menu.
It will be filled somewhere.
Either at initial page load, or later via xhr or fetch.
I might take a quick look later today.
Just experiment a bit though.
Use the browser network tab as help.
The browser offers copy as curl in the conxt menu for each network call.
Compare both curl calls, yours and the browsers.
Good luck,
Bastian
I am seeing these two under Firefox's "Network":
https://icedrive.net/assets/frontend/lib/jq/jquery-3.3.1.min.js
https://icedrive.net/assets/builds/icedrive.frontend.4029.min.js
Does this help?
$ curl -L
https://icedrive.net/assets/frontend/lib/jq/jquery-3.3.1.min.js -o -
curl: (2) no URL specified
curl: try 'curl --help' for more information
bash: https://icedrive.net/assets/frontend/lib/jq/jquery-3.3.1.min.js:
No such file or directory
$ wget https://icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop -o -
