| Aug 31, 2025 at 11:51 | comment | added | steb | @jdweng yea I agree it is weird in this case to get a 302 to an error html-page, downloading ics-files is probably not meant for a browser anyways. But I guess people download the file using the browser and import it or whatever so maybe they want to give a nice looking error page (that shows "error 500" and nothing else :-D). The error code is sent to the errorpage in the query-pars. Anyways, the problem is solved, Edge helped me generate the working useragent. Thanks! | |
| Aug 31, 2025 at 11:39 | comment | added | jdweng | @steb Useragent is the type of browser being used. When useragent is wrong usually a bad request 400 is returned and not 302. Postman will not change the useragent. How did you find the error? | |
| Aug 31, 2025 at 11:36 | comment | added | steb | Awesome Michał. I did try to copy the same header values (among MANY others) as the Edge browser use but that did not do it so I kind of let it go coz I though it udner the hood added something else to the reqest. However, when I let the browser generate a curl and ps script it modified the useragent to a working one. Many thanks for the suggestion! | |
