Reported below, but it has incorrectly been marked as "fixed".
Pick a random article with a download hosted on CodeProject. Click on the link to download the file. The "File Download" page appears, but after ten seconds, you are redirected back to the article page with a black banner at the top which reads:
"You have been redirected to the home of the file you requested to ensure you get the latest version of the file as specified by the article author."
Sample URLs:
- /Articles/2939/Network-Shares-and-UNC-paths
- /KB/IP/NetworkShares/NetworkShares_src.zip
- /Articles/2939/Network-Shares-and-UNC-paths?rp=/KB/IP/NetworkShares/NetworkShares_src.zip
This is happening on every article I've tried. However, it only affects Firefox (v69.0.1); Chrome (v77) works as expected.
I've tried deleting all cookies and site data, signing out and signing back in again, and restarting both the browser and the computer. Nothing makes any difference.
Let me know if you need any more information to track down this annoying bug.

Turns out FireFox is playing silly buggers with HTTP_REFERER.
Working on a work-around.

Do you need to set a Referrer-Policy[^]?

You'd think.
However, FireFox treats meta refresh differently to other browsers. There's a great demo at https://meta-refresh-referer.glitch.me/. run it in FireFox and Chrome and you'll see the difference.

Atm you can only choose from the predefined list.
Would be nice and appropriate to allow a custom license to supply for the code.

The problem with that is that everyone who wanted to use the article code would have to become a lawyer to understand exactly what they can and cannot do - and every author that wrote one, and every moderator that tried to approve it (we can't approve articles if the licence says "you can't use this unless you pay me" for example).
At least with a fixed set, everybody gets a good idea in advance of what they allow (within limits, I'm still not sure what CP allows and GPL3 doesn't for example!)

Thanks, Jeron, I think that's the right forum, and I'll change the link in my response to that post.

Sorry I can not answer here because I'm still recursing in the forum which is the forum for the forum...

When (if) you grow up, you may understand the gist of curating valuable content, so appropriate forums are enriched in a way that benefit people seeking certain types of content who would never find that content in forums like the Lounge.

I tend to agree. Maybe a 'Lessons Learned' or 'War Stories' forum, or perhaps something more generic, a 'Posterity' forum?

But please, not open for all. Just to be moved with a lot of votes of the people or by a reduced number of users with the privilege. If not... it will end up full of noise.

When I go to the concert home page, my article filter is set to .net, and the entire article section is blank. Btw, I’m using Firefox...

Which iOS version?

It used to work fine. This has been happening for a week or two.
BTW, I am the edge case your mother warned you about.

I’m posting this from Firefox on iOS 12.4 and everything’s fine so far, including the homepage.
I can’t produce your edge case problem.
I guess this is where I count my blessings?

i am loathe to update because a lot of times, there's no real need.

Is the issue happening on other tabs on the homepage, or just .NET?
I'd also strongly recommend you update your iOS version. There's some nasties out there you want to protect yourself against.
