FBX SDK 403 error to autodesk

[ll7]

I have the same issue as #5342 while building carla in a docker. I don't know how to apply the suggested fix.

Hi @ll7, Could you manage to apply the fix and resolve the issue?

[ll7]

No, I was not able to fix it.

Its should be on Util\BuildTools\BuildUtilsDocker.sh at line 20

wget --user-agent="Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" -c "${FBXSDK_URL}" -P "${CARLA_DOCKER_UTILS_FOLDER}"

I haven't try if this working or not. Since it took me 6 hours to build the image until this downloading process

Can confirm its work. But don't forget to change the dockerfile, so its using your local directory instead of clone from the repo

I'm having a similar issue, but instead of getting a 403, the request seemingly just never completes. It's stuck at "awaiting response..." forever. Any ideas? Autodesk servers unresponsive?

Managed to work around this by changing the above wget command to:

curl -O --output-dir "${CARLA_DOCKER_UTILS_FOLDER}" -L -A "Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)" "${FBXSDK_URL}"

Looks like the problem is caused by the use of Mozilla as user agent here: https://github.com/carla-simulator/carla/blob/cead6d1b05e89ad84df80984f62daba57bb50e55/Util/BuildTools/BuildUtilsDocker.sh#L20

Change it to a realistic, up-to-date user agent like Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/123.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 and it will work again.

But the response is a 301 Moved Permanently with Location: https://damassets.autodesk.net/content/dam/autodesk/www/adn/fbx/2020-0-1/fbx202001_fbxsdk_linux.tar.gz, so you might want to update the URL instead. This way, you won't need to set the user agent at all:
