Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden)

[shapman88]

I began seeing the below error message this morning when trying to download single posts or scrape an entire account. I confirmed that my auth information is correct and that I have not been logged out, but this seems to be happening randomly in between items that get downloaded. I am using version 1.7.52.

StackTrace: at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode() at OF_DL.Helpers.APIHelper.GetDRMMPDPSSH(String mpdUrl, String policy, String signature, String kvp, Auth auth) Exception caught: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).

Im also getting a similar error

Exception caught: Response status code does not indicate success: 500 (Internal Server Error). StackTrace: at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode() at OF_DL.Helpers.APIHelper.GetMedia(MediaType mediatype, String endpoint, String username, String folder, Auth auth, List 1 paid_post_ids)

I'm getting the same error: An error occurred: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden) I'm using the latest version and even tried with version OF.DL.V1.7.44 which used to work before. For some reason it'll download some posts but then reaches a point where it keeps repeating this error several dozen times. I've got all the DRM files and it worked fine 6 weeks ago but I haven't tried it since.

I've got the same in V1.7.56, but what's worth noting is that it happens randomly.

The same URL for instance, for a single-URL download, will give this 403 error, then upon retrying it will work without trouble. Runing a full scrape on a single account will yield, in my case, roughly 30% of the content, the rest being subjected to 403 error. Then re-running the same full scrape will yield an additionnal roughly 15% of the content. Not sure running the full scrape repeatedly will lead to a ban, though.

I am also getting the same as the others in this thread. I am using version 1.7.58

Are you using your own Wildvine keys or CDRM Project?

I am also receiving the same error message: StackTrace: at System.Net.Http.HttpResponseMessage.EnsureSuccessStatusCode() at OF_DL.Helpers.APIHelper.GetDRMMPDPSSH(String mpdUrl, String policy, String signature, String kvp, Auth auth) 2024-06-03 10:15:24.680 -07:00 [ERR] Exception caught: Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).

I tried using both CDRM Project and my own keys.

[ducmic]

Well, upon retrying later, my random issue disapeared. Since I'm using CDRM, I assume it was a temporary problem on that side.

Try with/without a VPN. If you have your own keys, I would always use them to remove CDRM as a potential source of problems.

how do you get your own keys/wildvine/whatever? Don't know anything about DRM or how it works, just that the downloader is throwing the same error for me and it used to work fine on its own

Also tried again. This time without VPN and it worked.

thanks! but that doesn't seem to be the issue. I can download the streams manually with FetchV, but the downloader still immediately throws that error

Did you use "OF-DL Auth Helper" (that browser extension) to generate the auth.json? I encountered same issue, and both turn on/ turn off VPN doesn't work for me. However, I realized the auth.json generated by the extension includes many unnecessary fields in the COOKIE value which led to a failed connection.

Try to delete those unnecessary COOKIE fileds in your auth.json manually, and make the COOKIE pair looks like "COOKIE": "sess=[your sess id]; auth_id=[your auth id];". This should fix the issue.

I've not seen that myself, so if it does help, it's an edge case.

Are you all on 1.7.59 now? It's the only release that has come out since a recent OF update that required a new release on our end.

Yes, I'm on 1.7.59 now and this issue persisted from 1.7.57. I can also reproduce this issue and fix it again with my mentioned solution in my environment.

On my Firefox, that extension will also save the _cfuvid, CloudFront-Policy, CloudFront-Signature, CloudFront-Key-Pair-Id, lang, __cf_bm, and st fields.

no change, but getting a different error today. StackTrace: at System.IO.FileInfo.get_Length() at OF_DL.Helpers.DownloadHelper.DownloadDrmMedia(String user_agent, String policy, String signature, String kvp, String sess, String url, String decryptionKey, String folder, DateTime lastModified, Int64 media_id, ProgressTask task, String customFileName, String filename, String path)

and the ffmpeg could not save the file

[ElephanSizePenis]

I changed the cookie to only have "sess" info and it stopped giving this error. I was using the of cookie helper before.

[cars11]

seems to work now

edit: nevermind, it's back

Tried this workaround, but I am still getting the same error. I have all the DRM files as well

[ElephanSizePenis]

Its back again, but this time with just auth failure. Both manually added values and browser extension.

The 403 Forbidden is now being tracked on #466.
