Download fails when using password

jarid · 11-14-2010, 11:55 AM

Hi--I am using Calibre v0.7.28 on XP sp3 behind a D-Link router and trying to get my books onto a Droid X 2.2 running Aldiko. I have tried using the Droid X native browser and the new Dolphin browser.

When Calibre server is NOT using a username and password, I am able to browse and download the books.

When I implement a username and password, I can browse my books, but all downloads are unsuccessful.

I am accessing the Calibre server using the Verizon network and not the phone's wifi...so I know the port forwarding is working.

Thankx

and when you have the password setup, can you access it using a normal browser?

Using the test server button, I was able to browse and download a book to my desktop.

I had a friend logon from his house and he was able to download a book to his desktop. (Using IE v8.)

This was with the password enabled.

Then you should report the problem to Aldiko

But I am NOT using Alkido to download the books from the Calibre server. I am using the Droid X's native browser...as well as the other available browsers.

It still sounds like a problem at the Android end.
