Thanks for all the responses
An xml file can be compressed , too 😊 Accept-Encoding is just a hint
to the server which compression the client accepts, and the server is free to
ignore it. So I doubt that's the issue.
I am just uploading whatever the repogen tool created for me.
My guess is the "?-915259074 " part of the url is what makes the server fail.
To prevent caching, you may wish instead to add header:
Cache-Control: no-store
For the above suggestions, how do I do that through the IFW? Are there
config.xml parameters that I missed?
Is it possible for you to lighten the restriction on the User-Agent in
ModSecurity in this case?
I have tried to disable modsecurity completely to debug this issue, and
it does not help unfortunately.

Hey,
I used curl a bit to test things out with the address you provided.
The request is rejected by "Mod_Security" seemingly due to the
User-Agent. The options here are limited since it seems IFW doesn't
let you change User-Agent ( https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTIFW-671
). Is it possible for you to lighten the restriction on the User-Agent
in ModSecurity in this case?

Hi All,
I am attempting to utilize the Qt Installer Framework for our
company's software. I am just starting out and am running into some
issues.
I uploaded the generated repo to our website, and linked the repo in
the installer. When I run the installer and attempt to fetch the
remote repo tree, it returns this:
"Cannot retrieve remote tree. "
Using the --verbose option, it says this:
[1744] Network error while downloading
'http://www.spikegadgets.com/downloads/onlinesoftwarerepo/Updates.xml?-763156944':
Error transferring
http://www.spikegadgets.com/downloads/onlinesoftwarerepo/Updates.xml?-763156944
- server replied: Not Acceptable.
[1745] Cannot fetch a valid version of Updates.xml from
repository "": "unexpected character"
[1751] Cannot retrieve remote tree .
You can even go to the link above in a browser and see that it is
uploaded properly.
I sniffed out the HTTP request and it showed that the IFW sent this:
GET /downloads/onlinesoftwarerepo/Updates.xml?-915259074 HTTP/1.1
Connection: Keep-Alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Accept-Language: en-US,*
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0
Host: www.spikegadgets.com
So I have absolutely no experience in web servers and HTTP requests
and such. The website and FTP was set up for us, which I used to
upload the repo. To me, the issue seems to be that the Installer
framework is sending a HTTP request for an encoding that doesn't make
sense ("Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate" for a .xml file?).
Is there something I am missing? Doing wrong? What should I look into
to fix this?
