403 Forbidden when trying to download 1.8 RC1 via wget or programmatically

[Michael Klishin]

I am trying to reproduce [1] and in the process needed to update the Chef cookbook [2] we use to provision

Neo4J Server on travis-ci.org.

I don't have much success: hitting 403 Forbidden responses all the time, with wget, curl and Chef's HTTP client.

Is this intentional? What's the reasoning behind preventing "headless" HTTP clients from downloading the tarball?

What URL do you use for the download?

This one worked for me: curl -O http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-community-1.8.RC1-unix.tar.gz

This one worked for me: curl -O http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-community-1.8.RC1-unix.tar.gz

http://dist.neo4j.org/neo4j-community-1.8.0.RC1-unix.tar.gz

(notice the 0 after the 8). This is a little confusing but probably only to me.

Thank you.
