Problem with Arduino Download Manager [message #1763341]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error when trying to use the Arduino Download Manager on both my OS X system and Windows 10 system, both running Eclipse Neon:

http: //arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json
Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL: arduino.esp8266.com/stable/package_esp8266com_index.json

Manually downloading the JSON from Chrome or Safari works, but I notice that it gets redirected to:

https: //arduino.esp8266.com/versions/2.3.0/package_esp8266com_index.json

It appears that I'm not the only person who is encountering this problem. Two other people have reported this problem with the past few weeks on the Arduino CDT webpage.

It's completely stopped me from being able to do anything with the Arduino CDT, so any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm having the same problem. I can't find a workaround that I can make work from the Eclipse plugin. I can get the json file with wget just fine, but I think the 403 comes from one of the links embedded in the json. As I have just installed this plugin I can't even set the plugin up to talk to my board.....

I took a line capture of the exchange:

1. Read /setups/setups.zip from www.eclipse.org, comes fine,

2. Read /packages/package_index.json from downloads.arduino.cc, comes fine,

3. Read /stable/package_esp8266com_index.json from arduino.esp8266.com, returns 403 Forbidden, with attached error page. Eclipse does not show the returned error page.

IMHO, there is a setup problem in the Cloudflare protection firewall at the arduino.esp2866.com site.

To work around this problem, go to Window-->Preferences-->C/C++-->Arduino, and delete the URL for the esp8266 json file. Restart the Eclipse IDE, and you should be able to run the Arduino Downloads Manager. Of course, you won't be able to program esp8266 boards until the esp8266.com site is fixed.

Correct. Though you don't need to restart the Eclipse IDE, just need to reopen the download manager.

A fix for this is coming for Oxygen.
