Description
|
The Online Installer,and autoupdate gives the user the Embargoed Country error message if it receives a generic 403 error code during the download/installation. The installer should provide a more correct message, such as indicating that there is a problem connecting to the download server.
The 403 error code can be provided by various servers, firewalls, and proxies that site between the user and the download server. This error is being interpreted by the installer as that the user is in an embargoed country, while they may not actually be in an embargoed country.

Work Around
|
For users who have received the 'embargoed county' message, and they do not believe they are in an embargoed county, they should attempt to download and use the Offline Installer.
The link to the latest Offline Installer (one large, complete JRE installer file) is:
http://java.com/win-pinstaller/

Evaluation
|
HTTP_STATUS_FORBIDDEN is always interpreted as export denied.
HTTP_STATUS_FORBIDDEN (403) could be returned from improperly configured proxy servers or firewalls.
