Notes: depotdownloader manages to work fine downloading older manifests

[Fatmice]

Yes, it returns 401 for a manifest GID that's valid for steam's own download_depot console command

As an aside, info doesn't seem to return a list of prior manifests

[nutterthanos]

maybe because info is asking for appinfo which appinfo only contains latest manifest gid for each branch that exists

it seems depotdownloader can at least grab older manifests tho its like there is code that prevents the steamclient/steamctl client from grabbing older manifests

[Fatmice]

It depends. If the manifest GID is for a password-locked branch, I've not be able to use depotdownloader grab the files even though I can with download_depot

actually steamctl seems to just skip login if you try to download a older manifest and returns a HTTP 401

[rossengeorgiev]

Manifest downloads now require a manifest code. I've been told older manifest can still be downloaded as Steam would return a manifest code, but perhaps that is no being handled properly I have to verify.
