Unable to download mods

[xunto]

Curseforge seems to change something as I get 403 error when I do "pack.install".

I can access this link from browser though.

Running in the same issue here. But I have additional info :

1. Error 403 means Curseforge's server is refusing the connection for download. I intuit it's because we're trying to download industrially instead of by hand from a proper internet browser.

2. I tried with the -ignored setting to see if it's one mod or the whole ordeal that is blocked. As you can probably guess yourselves, every single mod were denied for me.

It's very worrying considering how heavily mcdex, and the whole minecraft modding community relies on Curseforge.

I don't know what I can do to help as a simple user, so I'll content myself to keep on reading new developments here.

Best regards.

I think this may be an attempt to try and force more people over to twitch launcher.
As a work around, I ran it with ignore to get a list of urls, replaced some text in it to make it into a list and then used tampermonkey to open them all in new tabs.

Note that this may result in the browser popping up a bunch of warnings.

I'll take a look at this later tonight. They are looking for specific headers and such to validate it's a "real" browser. We might have to add a specific login command to enable things to work properly. Will report back after I dig in a bit. :(

[dizzyd]

Think I found the problem. Hopefully a new release tomorrow.

This is fixed in v0.9.8 which was just released. Please let me know if the issue re-occurs. :)
