The link for FFXIDB directs to the correct site, but uses http instead of https, which FFXIDB doesn't like and returns a zero-length response for.

Weirdly though, the Windower link directs to the https version of FFXIDB, rather than windower.net as the mouseover text would suggest.

(Windows 10, Firefox 128.6.0esr)

works fine on chrome. we (windower, who manage ffxidb) did update the site and move it to our new server at the end of 2024, so it could be that there is some new issue with the new set up

Edit: issue identified and should be fixed now.

Can you try again? I did a blind fix, since it worked even before for me on Chromium and I'm too lazy to download Firefox.

FFXIDB link is now functional, directing to the site using https.

Windower link is still broken, but I took a closer look this time: like the ffxidb link, it directed to the right URL with the wrong protocol, and apparently on http windower.net redirects to ffxidb for some reason.

Which link do you mean?

[quote="Fenrir.Zenion" pid=3732115]like the ffxidb link, it directed to the right URL with the wrong protocol

True, and we notified FFXIAH staff about this, but the redirect should still work even with the http protocol - there was definitely an issue on our end, and it should be fixed now.

I cannot reproduce this - could this be a caching issue on your end? This *was* the case, but it should have been fixed earlier. Can you try with the cache disabled? If it's still happening, maybe Cloudflare is caching things on our end.

Clearing cache for windower.net got it.
