[Bug] Getting "HttpException: Invalid statusCode: 403" error

🐛 Bug Report - Getting "HttpException: Invalid statusCode: 403" error

Expected behavior

• I am trying to cache a video file from an open https url:
• • https://cdn-animation.artstation.com/p/video_sources/000/629/776/shield-05-video.mp4
• The error: HttpException: Invalid statusCode: 403
• As far as I know, no headers are needed for that url.
• The file size is 13.4 MB.
• I will then use that cached file for playing videos from URLs.
• Actually, I am already doing that and it works as expected for this video url:
• • https://flutter.github.io/assets-for-api-docs/assets/videos/butterfly.mp4
• Important: Even though I can't cache the video from the 1st url I provided, the Video Player plugin can successfully play it. So the url is working indeed.

The code is long but here are the important part.

FileInfo? _fileInfo;
DefaultCacheManager _cacheManager = DefaultCacheManager();

_fileInfo = await _cacheManager.downloadFile(videoUrl, force: true); 
// Also tried with --> force: false
// I use *await* but I know it is optional, in my case I need that.

if (_fileInfo == null) {
  videoPlayerController = VideoPlayerController.network(videoUrl); 
  // When the file cannot be cached, the video is played from .network()
} else {
  videoPlayerController = VideoPlayerController.file(_fileInfo.file);
  // When the file is cached, the video is played from .file()
}

I have also tried adding the key for allowing arbitrary loads on iOS --> NSAllowsArbitraryLoads

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
<dict>
   <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
   <true/>
</dict>

Version:

flutter: 2.10.1 flutter_cache_manager: ^3.3.0

Platform:

• iOS (both device and simulator) - (tried on different iPhones) - (tried on release - debug modes)

I'm also seeing an issue like this.

Why did I suddenly have this same error too? I wanted to access Firebase storage. It used to working well, but now it is always error. Is this error from Firebase or Flutter_Cache_Manager?

Update: Now I know, Firebase is error [check here]

But, how come the package doesn't have any error handling up until now if it is error?

Console getting spammed by these. Ought to be a way to opt out of that without changing package code locally.
