Please fix the download links to https to stop their block

#1 Post by bugmenot » Thu Mar 07, 2024 10:36 am

Hi, while https://www.agdinteractive.com/games/qf ... s_snd.html itself uses https (you can try http but it redirects), the actual download links (Windows and Mac) use http, and thus some browsers block them, and the rest of the browsers will soon block them too, as it's considered a security no-no.

Can you please just change them to https?

Likewise for the 3 wallpapers in https://www.agdinteractive.com/games/qf ... tials.html

Meanwhile, https://www.agdinteractive.com/games/qf ... music.html just features a dead link so please fix.

Much appreciated!

Thanks for the heads-up. I have fixed all of the http issues and replaced (or removed) dead links from the Quest for Glory II remake site.

I also did the same for all the other game sites.

Thanks, but the download link is now completely 404! Lots of SSL issues too, but the main issue is a 404 status (as seen in the headers, not just the text message) - please fix as this makes the game undownloadable until further notice: |I

It seems the problem is the homepage is different than all the internal pages.
It should link to this download page while https://www.agdinteractive.com/games/qf ... s_snd.html should just redirect there.

You must have been checking the pages right in the middle of when I was updating them. I've been converting all of the image-based content into actual text (using OCR) and reformatting the pages for better Search Engine Optimization, removing/replacing deprecated Flash elements, and making the QFG2 remake site more compliant with HTML5.

Should be all working now. If you notice any weirdness or spelling/grammar issues where the OCR screwed things up, let me know. I think I got everything, though.
