PKGBUILD - file source 403 error code

I'm creating the following PKGBUILD

pkgname=netbios-share-scanner
pkgver=1.0
pkgrel=2
pkgdesc='This tool could be used to check windows workstations and servers if they have accessible shared resources.'
arch=('any')
url='https://www.secpoint.com/netbios-share-scanner.html'
license=('BSD')
depends=('python')
source=("https://www.secpoint.com/freetools/$pkgname-$pkgver.zip")
sha512sums=('7ac4c309c348707015b6e0e77bb1fa9595762b9e0b1ea5dd462a8d9810e6eed5dea8131690e236c91ea399a72ae2aa8a267fd848809c97acda04b7d6f6878568')

package() {
  cd "nb${pkgver/./}"

  install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/usr/bin"
  install -dm 755 "$pkgdir/usr/share/$pkgname"

  install -Dm 644 -t "$pkgdir/usr/share/doc/$pkgname/" README.txt

  rm README.txt

  cp -a * "$pkgdir/usr/share/$pkgname/"

  cat > "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname" << EOF
#!/bin/sh
cd /usr/share/$pkgname
exec python $pkgname.py "\$@"
EOF

  chmod +x "$pkgdir/usr/bin/$pkgname"
}

and I note that, during the download of the source, I get the error:

curl: (56) The requested URL returned error: 403
==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://www.secpoint.com/freetools/netbios-share-scanner-1.0.zip
    Aborting...
==> ERROR: Failed to generate new checksums

while, if I download the file by the browser, I can download it with no issues.

Is there a way to make the process to download it as well with no errors?

Going to that URL in a browser throws an error as well. Your link is just bad, it's 'shares', not 'share'.

Re: PKGBUILD - file source 403 error code

Even if I add that "share" like:

source=("https://www.secpoint.com/freetools/netbios-shares-scanner-$pkgver.zip")

I continue to get:

==> ERROR: Failure while downloading https://www.secpoint.com/freetools/netbios-shares-scanner-1.0.zip
    Aborting...

Re: PKGBUILD - file source 403 error code

cloudflare (and 403 is "forbidden")
-b cookies -c cookies will only get you a block warning instead of the target url

It's somwhat possible to get around cloudflares security measures, but I'm not sure you can put that into the AUR.

https://www.secpoint.com/freetools/netbios-shares-scanner-1.0.zip

does work from within firefox for me.

makepkg & wget are not able to download it though.
Maybe some kind of a redirection issue ?

Re: PKGBUILD - file source 403 error code

The HTTP response is 403 when using PKGBUILD (curl). By using Chromium, instead, it is downloaded with no errors.

Faking the user agent will actually do in this particular case.

Re: PKGBUILD - file source 403 error code

How can I fake it in the PKGBUILD?
