Re: Re[2]: ESS download links

Well, Microsoft is having issues today too. A few customers emailing me
about MAILTOOL not working. The logs show the servers not replying to the
HELO request.

Down Detector is your friend... :)

In all these years I've never seen GMail servers down once.. but
Microsoft's have issues every couple months.

Hmm, IBM having difficulty with https links. SNAFU

In actual fact I'm shocked when they actually work.

Subject RE: ESS download links

I called ESS. They acknowledged a problem with Download Director. They
were not aware of any issue with https. They are now. I sent them the
file with the bogus links. I suggested that the problem with Download
Director may have be using the same bogus links.

We'll see what happens...

Subject: ESS download links

I'm trying to download software from ESS.
I tried Download Director and even accepted all the scary Java and other
threat messages. I still got a connection refused.
So I tried HTTPS instead. That doesn't download anything but a text file
with some links in it. I tried the links but I only get a WTF message on
that URL. Apparently they start out with some sites which I'm guessing
only work if you're internal to IBM so I could open an issue but I'd
probably get "works for me". I tried the name at
downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it tells me it's not me.
The links begin with
https://delivery03-cpc-bld.dhe.ibm.com
