external download link issue
If I open page:
https://www.ohloh.net/projects/openpm
and then click Download
- it works.
But if I open new browser and go to URL of download link:
https://www.ohloh.net/projects/openpm/external_download
- it shows empty screen.
Also if I try to open download link in new tab from project page instead of opening link in new tab it redirects original page and opens empty page in new tab.
Hi jigounov,
The reason is a bit cryptic - we require an http 'post' for that external_download URL to work (since it will increment the external download count). I think we originally did this to prevent crawlers from augmenting the download counts. Do you have a specific scenario in mind that we could help out with?
