+caderoux Posted February 11, 2006 Posted February 11, 2006 Will this be working again (right now I get a blank page)? If not, will the link be removed/disabled? Also, the forum will not let you search on "+gpx +file +approved" because it contains a 3-letter word. I know gc.com did not write the forum software, and cannot be blamed for the bad design, but it would seem that the three character limit is being misapplied given the nature of the specific search criteria I gave.
+Prime Suspect Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 That's weird. It used to work. The .loc download doesn't work either. You can download a file, but the coordinates are both zero.
+ODragon Posted February 12, 2006 Posted February 12, 2006 Not sure how well it relates but there was a problem with them before... Topic I started back in July when I had a problem that sounds related to this. My guess is in fixing the malformed file they just removed proper coords completely... So it's been gone for a while it seems...
+caderoux Posted February 13, 2006 Author Posted February 13, 2006 I click on GPX and just get a blank page - no offer to save the file or anything like on regular pages. I was trying to bring all the additional coordinates into Google Earth. It may be because this cache has additional waypoints.
markandlynn Posted February 13, 2006 Posted February 13, 2006 Its disabled because people were hacking into the reviewer queue or if a TB was placed in an unapproved cache people could work out the path to the gpx / loc file and download the information. As ever some will go to any length for a FTF

As ever some will go to any length for a FTF Since the file is generated on demand, the server should check your session and return an error instead. Do you know if it's a temporary disabling? (and if not, why is the button on the screen at all?)
