I know the end is near for the TMF at this server, but I started seeing this today for the first time and thought you might want to know.

Response denied by WatchGuard HTTP proxy.
Reason: header 'Content-Type' denied rule='Default' value='unknown/unknown'

This isn't us. Note the first two lines:

Response denied by WatchGuard HTTP proxy.
Reason: header 'Content-Type' denied rule='Default' value='unknown/unknown'

You are behind some sort of proxy, firewall, VPN (Virtual Private Network), or other filtering technology that is denying access to TMF attachments because of the way they are delivered. Because attachment links are to PHP files which then generate the attachment they don't have a good Content-Type specified; it is generated as the attachment is. For a browser this is fine (It can handle that, although Firefox doesn't save things correctly because of this with right-click save target as) but whatever service is between you and the internet blocks this lack of type by default. A security measure, no doubt.

Ask your company, university or network administrator if they've recently installed anything from the following company, because that is what the error indicates: http://www.watchguard.com/ This is not on our end.

Thanks HDS

It's very strange - I haven’t changed any network settings or providers.

I came back in a little while later with no problem and haven’t had any since. Perhaps my provider was making some changes on their end and I caught it in transition.

As long as other members are not having the problem then no harm done, but I do appreciate the explanation.
