HTTP 403 Forbidden error attempting to browse .cmd files under https://git.ti.com/

Chester Gillon

Not sure if this is the correct place to mention this, but notice that if try and browse files on https://git.ti.com/ then get a HTTP 403 Forbidden error it attempt to view files with a .cmd extension.

E.g. attempting to view https://git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/TMS570LS31x/bl_link.cmd results in:

Where can browse files with other extensions. E.g. https://git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/TMS570LS31x/ls31_can_boot/bl_config.h

I have tried a number of browsers, and they all have the same error.

In the above hercules_examples project, the .cmd files are just plain text linker command files for the TI ARM compiler.

Not sure if the web server is considering them as Windows executables, based upon the file extension, and blocking then.

Hello Chester,

No, E2E is for engineering and design issues, and I don't know why you are seeing this error. I just clicked the link you provided, it loads and displays correctly:

Are you LogIn to myTI? Perhaps you must LogIn to be able to access this page. I don't see a link on that git page to report problems, so let me find out how this can be addressed, how to report it. I'll get back to you by Wednesday.

Regards,

~Leonard

I get the same issue when logged into myTI.

Found that also get the same 403 error if try and browse a .bat file. E.g. https://git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/clean_all.bat

Out of interest, when it worked for you were on the TI network, or accessing it externally?

Hi Chester,

I am LogIn to E2E, but off the secure VPN network and I am able to access the git page:

Notice that the url does not have the https:// which indicates a secure network, where the link you provided does show https://

git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/TMS570LS31x/ls31_can_boot/bl_config.h

Thanks, but that bl_config.h is an example of a file which I can view.

Examples of files which I get a HTTP 403 error for are:

git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/TMS570LS31x/bl_link.cmd

git.ti.com/cgit/hercules_examples/hercules_examples/tree/Bootloaders/SafetyMCU_Bootloaders/clean_all.bat

I have tried 3 internet connections, and get the HTTP 403 error for the above 2 files on all of them.

Hi Chester,

I saw the same results on my home computer, outside the TI network.

The IT team is investigating this and I'll update you with any information available ASAP. I'll provide an update this Friday, in case it is not fixed by then.

Thanks again for reporting this,

~Leonard

Hi Chester,

I received notification that this has been corrected. I LogOut of TI VPN network, tried to access the two git.ti.com links that had previously returned the 403 error, and now they load and are displayed correctly.

Please verify you are seeing the same, then click the green "This resolved my issue" button if true.

Thanks for bringing this to our attention.
