Not sure what is different - it is asif the plugin is no longer doing it’s thing.
I know it was working in February (maybe as an older version, only that the current version is up to date).
For testing - I run everything via a proxy - and of course my proxy does not know how to handle this request:
192.168.129.2 - - [28/Apr/2020:10:49:45 +0000] "GET http://AIXProtocolR2//get.file/openssl/openssl-1.0.2.2001 HTTP/1.1" 502 496
The plugin log says:

Is there a way I can test the operation of the plugin?
p.s. when I manually goto https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/mrs/DownloadList?source=aixbp&lang=en_US I can see the files
Ultimately - why is the proxy getting http://AIXProtocolR2// as the servername?
The (abbreviated, to not publish a complete URL) URL from the manual page is: https://iwm.dhe.ibm.com/sdfdl/v2/regs2/vikvicky/...m6c/Xc.openssl-1.0.2.2001.tar.Z/Xd./...595/Xi.aixbp/XY.regsrvs/XZ.pV...L2Qs/openssl-1.0.2.2001.tar.Z
and this is downloadable.

I turned off the proxy - and it still is not working - but, while I cannot fix it, I think I recognize the root cause.

- When I copy/paste the login URL I get taken to a page to login, and I get the list of files available.
- Now that I am logged in, I try the “Getting page” URL - and it says, sadly - You have not signed up for this offering. Please complete the signup process before coming to this page.
message code: 45e
- At this point, I guess IBM (It’s Been Moved) has changed where they put things. I hope someone can figure out what “generic” URL is going to work.
p.s. - be right back - going to try the second URL without the first login, to see what it gives me then. FYI: a long time ago IBM changed the link for the login to this resource.
These days I use the link: ROOTVG - AIX, LinuxOnPower & POWER Systems Portal - Offline (that points to Log in to IBM). After login I am at page: https://www-01.ibm.com/marketing/iwm/mrs/packageList?source=aixbp&lang=en_US . On this page I see, e.g., OpenSSL.
After pressing “Continue” I land on page: – actually - it does not say - the URL in the browser is unchanged. A frame has been filled with new data.
Note - the Browser tab calls itself “MRS” which is in the page banner as: “Marketing Registration Services”
The “Download” links are not “generic” - they are probably dynamically generated - and look nothing like the “Getting page: URL the plugin is generating” - bother!!!
I hope you can find a fix soon. For now - I’ll make a software distribution package and distribute it that way.
I’m Being Moved!
