Forum Topic - Downloading IDE 4.6.1: (3 Items)
   
Downloading IDE 4.6.1  
At URL https://www.qnx.com/account/updates/foundry27/ide/4.6 

There is the phrase 

Update site is available for this build at https://www.qnx.com/account/updates/foundry27/ide/4.6/. 

If one clicks on this link using FireFox on Windows XP, one gets the prompt

You have chosen to open _account_updates_foundry27_ide_4.6_
which is a: 6. file
from: https://www.qnx.com

What should Firefox do with this file?

Is this the expected behavior?
Re: Downloading IDE 4.6.1  
Hi, Keith,

That seems to be a strange behaviour on FireFox's part, but in any case,
this isn't a URL that you generally would want to open in a browser.  It
is an Update Site URL, which the Eclipse Update Manager uses to find
updates to its installed components.  The way to use it is to add the
URL as a new site in the "Help -> Software Updates -> Find and
Install..." dialog.  However, it is more likely that the IDE has already
configured this update site for you.

HTH,

Christian

RE: Downloading IDE 4.6.1  
Yes, Eclipse uses that site name.
It is a bit confusing when the Web browser lets you click the URL.

Thanks for the update.
