HTTP directory listing: Inclusion Mask "kvrt.exe" downloads $index.html instead

[ForestQ]

Hello,
I have a problem downloading a specific file from an HTTP directory listing.
URL:
https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/ ... test/full/

The directory currently contains:
kvrt.exe 120783232 bytes
kvrt.xml 339 bytes

The server returns a normal HTML directory listing:

<a href="kvrt.exe">kvrt.exe</a>
<a href="kvrt.xml">kvrt.xml</a>

I created a Syncovery profile with:
Left side:
https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/ ... test/full/
Inclusion Masks:
kvrt.exe

However, Syncovery does not download kvrt.exe.

Instead, it downloads:
$index.html

The downloaded file contains the HTML directory listing itself.

I also tried the following:

1. Enabling "Download and analyze all HTML files"
2. Disabling "Download and analyze all HTML files"
3. Using only "kvrt.exe" in Inclusion Masks
4. Entering the complete URL directly:

https://devbuilds.s.kaspersky-labs.com/ ... l/kvrt.exe

With the direct URL, Syncovery also creates/downloads an empty $index.html instead of the EXE.

This is not a general HTTP problem on my system. I have 19 other Syncovery profiles downloading files from HTTP/HTTPS servers, and they work normally.

The same kvrt.exe URL can be downloaded successfully with other download managers/browsers.

So it seems that Syncovery has a problem with this particular HTTP directory listing or with handling the direct file URL on this server.
Could you please check why Syncovery downloads $index.html instead of following the kvrt.exe link and downloading the actual file?

Thank you.

Which Syncovery version are you using?

The latest 12.8.6 does see kvrt.exe, but unfortunately it thinks the size is 1 Byte, and then errors after the download.

I'm fixing that.

11.16.4 linux

Thanks, I have fixed the problem and it will work with the next Syncovery 12 for Linux.

Maybe I can include the fix in Syncovery 11 too, but I am not sure.
