[Bug]: Beyond Compare not currently returning any results #590
Comments
This looks to be working now. |
Yes I believe so too - I'll put it down to the url not responding correctly |
Experiencing the same on 2312.878, the 2nd URL in the OP is returning a result whereas the 1st one returns an empty page. |
It does look like this is broken, It may be because the Check for updates page (https://www.scootersoftware.com/checkupdates.php) doesn't appear to serve the XmlNode: "//Update" any more or maybe it doesn't like the URL being passed to it via the Evergreen Manifest. It does look as though the web page may be falling foul of some modern web standards so this could be part of the reason it's not working? I guess someone with the right skills, a copy of WireShark installed and a semi-recent Beyond Compare installed, could capture traffic while performing a "Help | Check for Updates" in Beyond Compare to see if the URL has changed when performing this? |
What happened?
It appears that
Get-EvergreenApp ScooterBeyondCompare
is currently not returning any results.It looks like the webpage (called from the Manifests\ScooterBeyondCompare.json file) may have changed slightly
I found that by modifying the URI in the ScooterBeyondCompare.json from:
https://www.scootersoftware.com/checkupdates.php?product=bc4&minor=3&maint=2&auth=30.15&build=24472&edition=prodebug&cpuarch=x86_64&platform=win32&lang=silent
to:
https://www.scootersoftware.com/checkupdates.php?product=bc4&minor=3&maint=2&auth=30.15&build=24472&edition=prodebug&cpuarch=x86_64&platform=win32
In a Firefox browser I can now get the page to return results again
Maybe there is now no longer a need to supply the
&lang=silent
info?Sadly Evergreen still returns a 0-byte payload, so maybe the website is now expecting a different User Agent? (currently defined in the ScooterBeyondCompare.json file)
