Hi Stefan,

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. I've updated our URLs according to
the format you suggest, and they seem to work.

Best wishes,
Mark

Hello,

thanks for your mail.

The usage of "download.php" is an artifact from CAT 1.0 times. It was
replaced by an API call in 1.1 (but kept operational), and even that one
is now superseded by a version 2 of that API. We have now finally
dropped that way of downloading in favour of the API.

The format of UserAPI v2 is:


https://cat.eduroam.org/user/API.php?action=downloadInstaller&api_version=2&lang=en&device=w10&profile=523

You should adapt your URLs accordingly.

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
