Download URL verification in BYOND Discussion

Just a quick question, when the BYOND hub checks if a link is valid ornot, does it look for the extension .zip?

The reason is for my XMLQuest demo. In the website I use, I renamed the extension to .piz (zip backwards) so that the file can be hosted. Last I checked, DS had no problem extracting the source from the renamed extension.

I tried the link and it was still working so I wanted to make sure that the reason why the site says that the file URL is invalid due to the extension being .piz not .zip

What operating system are you using? Your file may actually be named

game_name.piz.zip

meaning it would be detected as a zip file.

I use Windows 7 but I have the show extension option enabled... not to mention that the problem I have is with this link:
http://ghostanime.awardspace.com/XMLQuest_src.piz

I tested the link with the retest link for the download but it still states that the URL link doesn't work (though the same link was successfully downloaded and unzipped previously)

What I want to know is if it is due to the lack of the .zip extension or is it a problem with the website server itself (yet the file is still downloadable).
