02:15:06 <pa_9940> i just installed the Next PR 4.2 platform and the built in "app store" wont download anything. it comes up with an download error message. is this a known issue? i know how to download apps the old way so getting the apps is not the problem
02:21:37 <GordCaswell> pa_9940: what's the exact error you're having?
02:25:09 <pa_9940> it says "Download Error: SendRequest Error on file http://downloads.sourceforge.net/portableapps/FirefoxPortable_8.0_English.paf.exe"

02:29:34 <pa_9940> when i t ype that link in to my browser, it does not appear to be a direct link to the file. instead it loads a web page which starts the download after about 5 seconds
02:30:15 <GordCaswell> ok, a "send request" error, is one that's happening on your end, nothing to do with PortableApps itself. see here for a brief explanation of sendrequest errors: http://portableapps.com/news/2009-12-06-_java_portable_6_update_17.1#comment-135942
02:30:34 <GordCaswell> that's right, it's a bouncer, so that the correct mirror for your location gets picked
02:32:21 <pa_9940> so its an issuse with Java on this computer?
02:33:09 <GordCaswell> nope, that's just the topic i linked to. SendRequest errors can happen with any program, as you'll see by searching our site for "sendrequest error"
02:34:16 <pa_9940> i can download the file fine with the web browser however. any ideas why it will not download from the "app store"?
02:34:26 <pa_9940> im still confused
02:35:44 <GordCaswell> no idea. if you can access the file directly, you -should- be able to access it through the app store. I don't have any ideas on why it wouldn't work
02:36:26 <GordCaswell> try posting on the forum, and see if someone can figure it out there, for you.
02:37:29 <pa_9940> is it possible my college blocks downloads from anything but a web browser?\
02:37:39 <GordCaswell> quite possibly, yeah
02:37:47 <pa_9940> thats probably it
02:37:56 <GordCaswell> school networks tend to be very restrictive
02:38:12 <pa_9940> yet they let me SSH into my home computer....

02:39:25 <ZachThibeau> hi Gord
02:40:13 <pa_9940> thanks for your help GordCaswell. if it doenst work when i try on my home computer ill be back
02:40:24 <GordCaswell> any ideas why a user might be able to DL an app via FF, but not via the app store? the user gets a SendRequest error
02:40:29 <GordCaswell> you're welcome
