Not working with new curse layout

[BrofistKittycat]

Curse switched away from minecraft.curseforge.com with their new layout, so cmpf can't search for modpacks. You can probably fix it by making look at curseforge.com/*, as the dependencies and dependents page still exists.

This stuff always happens, when I'm traveling ... I'll have a look at the end of the week.

I know that you have said that your not actively developing this tool and you have already said you'd look at the issue but is tried (unsuccessfully) to fix this with my limited skills, so i figured id ask if you have fixed this issue or if I should consider this tool to be abandoned.

Sry I just forgot about this. I'm too busy in rl right now, but I promise I will look into this during holiday break. Just keep spamming here after the 23rd of December so I won't miss it again.

[Pengu-Hunter]

Thank you for the reply and ill try not to harass you about it but i will send another reminder later in December

[Pengu-Hunter]

Since its now the 23rd this is the first spam reminder, thanks again.

Dang. Whatever I try, the curse website does not reply to me. All I get is error "Server returned HTTP response code: 403 for URL".
While the URLs work in any browser, they do not work when using the app.
Last time I could solve this by sending the "User-Agent" property to the curse server to fool him and treat me like a browser.
Obviously this does not work anymore and I am by no means a web developer, so I have no clue how to fix this. If you can find a web dev who can download the curse webpage via Java, I can fix this tool, but without, you can consider this dead now :(
Sorry.

[Pengu-Hunter]

Thanks for the effort.

IS this what you mean, https://www.tutorialspoint.com/Download-webpage-in-Java?

[InflamedSebi]

Well, kinda. This is the most basic way of doing it and probably works for 98% of webpages, curse is part of the 2% that dos not work with such simple code. For curse you would have to emulate a real browser instead of just opening a connection and downloading the response.

Good news, bad news, I found another tool that does what yours does so I'll stop badgering you about yours, https://cmpexplorer.herokuapp.com/, here's the link if you or anyone else interested in your tool want it.

Now that is down too. It's amazing how long curseforge has gone without a feature like this.

Here's another one I found.
