My company is having issues with the automatic updates of Chrome. They have some URL blocking software.
Whenever Chrome tries to update, the file is blocked. The system insists it is a virus. As a result, the system guys are not able allow the download (a regular blockage is easy to overcome, but a virus warning is not).
This is the (current) URL that allegedly contains a virus -
http://v21.nonxt4.c.bigcache.googleapis.com/chrome-canary/chrome_installer.exe?redirect_counter=1
I also tried to install it manually from -
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs
But the back-end seems to be trying to download the same URL as in the automatic update process.
Can you, please, support the "standalone=1" URL parameter in the EULA page of the canary build as well (or provide us with other means to download a standalone version)?
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/chromesxs/eula.html?standalone=1&hl=en
If it matters, this is the URL blocking software -
http://www.fortinet.com/products/web_filtering.html
I am currently stuck with Chrome 11.0.663.0 canary build as a result of that. :(
Thank you.

I kind of wanted an illegal workaround, but I did go to the page you referenced and all of the links were blocked (obviously). I even tried a proxy off the list of TopBits, but when I try to download the actual file, it gets blocked.
Thank you for trying, though.

I figured out a (manual) workaround -
The installer URL is always -
Which redirects to\is itself a blocked URL.
But if I change it to -
(HTTPS instead of HTTP)
It works and it updates (I am doing it via Fiddler).
Can you make Omaha\Chrome update mechanism try the HTTPS URL if it does not get the right response (or ends up with a 403 Forbidden response) from the HTTP one?
Or, better yet, is there a registry key, or a command line switch I can use in order to make the update mechanism use the HTTPS version?

I've switched the installer link to always point to https, so should no longer be a problem.
Cheers,

Well, Anthony, whereever you have moved the Canary file, I can no
longer download it from one office network now.
As far as I can tell, there should be nothing special about that
office. Just a DSL internet connection and a router/firewall.
Is there a specific domain or port that the new Canary download needs
access to?
Could you put a copy of the Canary download where you had it before?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

That is all he did, he changed HTTP to HTTPS.
And thank you, Anthony, it works now!

For me, the above HTTPS link never works. I'm glad the HTTP link does
work.
But if you just run that installer after downloading, you get a plain
Chrome install. It's the latest Canary version, but it overwrites
whatever is in ...\Google\Chrome directory and becomes takes over
Chrome on your computer.
I'm lucky I just found a note on the Net that you need the run with --
chrome-sxs to make it run as Canary install. Then it will install
into ...\Google\Chrome SxS and became a separate Canary install.

Oh, sorry, I never meant you will download this file and execute, I just wanted to see if the links works... I should have told you about the --chrome-sxs up front.
Sorry, again.

That's okay. Just had to go through the effort to uninstall that
Chrome Canary and reinstall a real Chrome to fix the problem.

Yeah, but it might have screwed up your user profile, or make it (somewhat) incompatible with Chrome 10 stable.
I also made that mistake and... well, I am simply waiting for Chrome 13 to be released in order to update my stable Chrome again (yes, this is stupid).
