403 Error

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /view_match.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Apache Server at descentchampions.org Port 80

When I try to post a dropbox link in my 20-2 match against Caniplay. Had to post in the comments instead.

I just got this too on my game with Lothar.

I told Drakona about this last night, she acknowledged it and is aware of the issue. I had a few games I had to post links to comments as well.

I am aware. The trouble started when the web host had some down time and did some configuration changes or something. I don't think it was me. So figuring out what rule that request is now breaking isn't quick . . . it looks perfectly legit to me.

Go back to using the match comments for now, I guess? Sorry about that, I know everyone likes the demo links.

Got it.

Apparently, if I put something that looks like a URL in the variable 'pov' and pass it through a POST request, the server intercepts the request and then gets confused. If I name the variable 'demo_link', it's fine. Goodness knows why. Deep magic.

Anyway, it works now.

Thanks for all the fish.
