[clamav-users] wget http://database.clamav.net/daily-26108.cdiff ERROR 403: Forbidden.

[Adam Copley]

Hi Francois,

From what I understand ClamAV have tightened their download policy. Cloudflare is now more restrictive.

You are able to use their freshclam client to download updates, but if you try and download directly via methods such as wget, curl… Basically any scripted method you will receive the 403 response along with an error code in the response. As you said via the browser is working fine.

Kind Regards
