BES Web Reports Enable PDF Reports 1/2 Download error

I’m trying to configure the PDF Reports in a Test Environment, and when I tried to run the 1/2 Task to get it working, I get a download error downloading “gs860w32.exe”.

Looking at the Action script, the download URL is …

http://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/GPL%20Ghostscript/8.60/gs860w32.exe

When I drop that URL into a Browser, I am taken to the SourceForge Download page where I get to wait a few seconds before the download begins. The page lists a “direct download” link …

https://sourceforge.net/projects/ghostscript/files/GPL%20Ghostscript/8.60/gs860w32.exe/download?use_mirror=iweb

which avoids the loading of and the redirection from the SourceForge page.

I can manually download and cache the GhostScript installers to get past this, but the Task really should be updated with the “new” URL.

You should file a PMR about this.
