[Manialink] Why https not support?

[Harrison_rus]

Hello. A long time I have one problem. I can't make working manialink, because my site was closed... Now I don't know, where I can put my .xml file.
I tryed use dropbox, but https not support... Why?

https is supported, dropbox can be used without https links anyways
what isn't working for you?

Strange. I have this error:

My code (url was removed):

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
<manialink version="1">
<timeout>0</timeout>
<music data=""/>
<!--Backround-->
<quad sizen="320 180" valign="center" halign="center" image=""/>
<!--MainBar-->
<quad posn = "0 60 1" sizen="320 10" valign="center" halign="center" image=""/>
<!--button next-->
<!--Buttons for enviroments-->
<quad posn = "-160 50 1" sizen="54 12" scale="1.0" image=""/>
<quad posn = "-160 28 1" sizen="54 12" scale="1.0" image="" imagefocus="" manialink="HSMLink_Canyon"/>
<quad posn = "-160 16 1" sizen="54 12" scale="1.0" image=""/>
<quad posn = "-160 4 1" sizen="54 12" scale="1.0" image=""/>

</manialink>

When I have my site, I don't have this problem...

Link for my .xml file:

Code: Select all

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g3ze0oedlysxj86/HSMLink.xml

well does your link open an xml file?
no it doesn't, it opens an html file
you need an actual direct link

try this one: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/g3z ... SMLink.xml

(i just changed the "www" in your link to "dl")

Code: Select all

https://dl.dropbox.com/s/g3ze0oedlysxj86/HSMLink.xml

Oh, wow! Thank you! Now all work!
Really, I don't know, that i need write "dl". What is it?

Really, I don't know, that i need write "dl". What is it?

dropbox usually shows own pages to offer downloads, writing "dl" is just a trick to easily build the direct download link
