Post: Struggling to get robo-downloads working
The problem: despite my best efforts, CLI-based downloads are failing from repos ostensibly configured to allow it:
$ curl 'https://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/r/libfossil/tarball/x.tar.gz?name=libfossil-src&uuid=trunk'
...
Redirect to /login...
This happens regardless of my robot-restrict settings, even if they're empty or set to "off".
Obviously this is known to work on sqlite.org and fossil-scm.org, so something's missing on my end, but what that might be eludes me.
Any hints on what to check/tweak/delete/whatever would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the "Download Zips" permission (letter "z") enabled for user "anonymous"?

Facepalm - did not even consider permissions. That was the magic missing piece, thank you!
(@sodface, this should resolve the download thing from that other thread on that other forum for you.)
