Download only available in .EXE (blocked by corporate firewall)

Open J-o-h-n-M opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

I was trying to download your application today at work, but as our corporate firewall does not allow any download of .EXE files, it was not possible (I tried a lot of ways)

I actually have to wait till I am home this evening, download it, zip it and then put it on a USB drive.

This is a LOT of work just to try your application. It would make life a lot easier for corporate users if you put the downloadable .EXE into a .ZIP file.

Is this an option you could add to the download? I expect many major corporation have this limitation of downloading .EXE files

@Muzurio This can definitely be done, we'll take a look at this. :)

Is this change going to be implemented in the next version ?

Having a similar situation at my company, I have asked admins to add whitelist entry for postman URL. It is still more secure than installing applications from the USB drive. Or in your case, you could ask an administrator to download the latest version of the Postman and provide it locally for your whole company.

On the other hand, it doesn't really matter if EXE file is zipped, because AFAIK in corporate environment everything will be scanned anyway.
