Description

I am FreeBSD maintainer of the Trac and some packages. I was using urls like https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/plugins/trunk/spam-filter?rev=17858&format=zip to download plugins. Recently some changes been implemented and it gives 404, e.g.

% curl 'https://trac.edgewall.org/browser/plugins/trunk/spam-filter?rev=17858&format=zip'
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access this resource.</p>
</body></html>

This breaks all automated downloads. I did not found any github mirrors and not sure how to handle that. Is it possible to revert this back to allow programmatic downloads?

Sorry for the inconvenience. Bots send a lot of request to our repository browser. We're blocking such requests. I just configured our web server to make the zip downloading not blocked. However, I'd suggest using Subversion client to download the sources rather than the repository browser.

Thank you, and appreciate your help. I would also suggest doing a GitHub mirror for the plugins directory, too, so it would be easier to point to it instead.
