    Hello,

    While downloading from my home network, either using my Gentoo Linux desktop and Firefox or a Mac Mini with OS X and Safari; I just get "Malformed policy" when trying to download the PA build.

    Is there any solution for this?

    Thank you. :)

    No idea, probably you can try wget:
    Code:
    wget "COPY_LINK_HERE" -O PA.tar.bz2
    Do you have any proxy servers or something like that?

    I have already tried wget, unfortunately it just gave me a 403 forbidden error. I assume due to lack of authentication cookies.

    I have a local (in my own network) squid setup as a transparent proxy to filter out ads and such.. Hmm.

    It's don't need cookies, amazon use special authentication key from URL.

    I totally sure problem is here, you really need to check it.

    I removed my rule to route traffic through the proxy temporarily, and I could indeed download the file after having done so. Strange things. It's the first time I've not been able to download something due to squid. I wonder if there's some setting I can tweak to fix that. I'll investigate. :)

    Just guess: it's might be reason of X-Forwarded-For and Via headers. Squid adds them to HTTP request by default.

    You guessed correctly, I turned off X-Forwarded-For and now the PA download works while I run my web traffic through squid. Thank you. :D
