It's working for us. What are you seeing?


I click on the link: # Character Traits: 388 KB zip PDF
and get the following:

File not found

Firefox can't find the file at http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/CharacterTraits.zip.

* Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors.

* Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted.

I verified it's there on all servers, and we had folks check it from outside with a different browsers including Firefox for Windows and OS X, and it's all good.

Any chance something upstream of you is blocking access to zip files?


This is *really* strange. I can get to it via IE, but not FireFox. This *has* worked before so I am stumped, but it is on my end not yours. Sorry for the false report.

I just tried it. Worked fine for me. I was going to make a joke about some of the "a's" not coming through, then decided Vic probably hears enough of it that it wouldn't be funny to him.

@Papa-DRB: Don't forget you can access all of the base traits from the free web enhancement as well as those from many other sources on d20pfsrd.com. You can find them here.

Wacky Firefox add-ons, maybe? (Perhaps something to do with file types, or zips?)


If it is, I'm stumped. For addons I have the following addons for quite some time:

Adblock Plus
Flashblock
Ghostery
IE Tab
Personas

All the other links to zip files off that page work, and when I switch the page to IE Tab, this link works also...

Sigh, I hate computers!!! (lol) Thanks for your help and suggestions.

What happens when you enter the direct URL to the traits document?

Actually, that URL is a shortcut that redirects to the *real* URL for the file... which is the one his browser is complaining about:

http://paizo.com/download/pathfinder/CharacterTraits.zip


I wonder if it is a caching error?

Papa-DRB, have you tried clearing you cache lately? And if not, would you mind trying it?


THANK YOU !!!

Cleared the cache and now the link works. That goes into the list of monthly things to do on the laptop.
