Problem with Shockwave 12.2.3.183 download - varies by browser

This one seems odd. I think Adobe may be redirecting the Shockwave download based on browser.

I’m having a problem with Fixlet 12011064 in “Updates for Windows Applications” - “Adobe Shockwave Player 12.2.3.183 Available”. When a client runs this Fixlet the Action’s download status shows a sha1 mismatch.

When I download http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/shockwave/default/english/win95nt/latest/sw_lic_full_installer.exe
via Google Chrome, I get the correct file (version 12.2.3.183 with a sha1 matching the Fixlet). When I download the same URL using Internet Explorer, I get version 12.2.2.172 instead and the sha1 mismatches the Fixlet.

I don’t know whether BES Server is using a browser agent string to identify as Internet Explorer, or whether Adobe has “file X for Chrome, file Y for all others” and both IE and BigFix match “all others”.

In any case, I had to download the files using Chrome, rename them to their sha1 values, and manually cache them at wwwrootbes\bfmirror\downloads\sha1 in order to execute the Shockwave actions.

Looks like it’s working as normal now for both IE (IE 11) and BES server.
