When trying to get a server JAR for old versions of Minecraft before release 1.2.5, (1.2.4, beta, alpha builds, etc), upon clicking the "Download Server" link in the launcher, internet browser shows an "Access Denied" XML file:
<Error>

The new launcher will attempt to download the server for a Minecraft version without a server(such as alpha or beta versions)

I added "2.9.1003" to the affected versions, however my launcher shows me version "2.0.1003". I assume the version number in the launcher is incorrect.
So now I face the difficult decision: does one report a wrong version display as bug? If so, what would be the correct "affected version"? 😛
Well, the download link is now taking the URL from the version manifests and will not show broken download links.
But we still don't have these links in the manifests.
So it's fixed in the launcher, but missing in the data. It is technically fixed, because a missing link cannot be incorrect.
I am confused, as I cannot find the download option for the server JAR anymore. Am I blind, or has this option been removed altogether?
We simply do not have download links for those old versions.
Now it:
Doesn't lie about us having download links when we don't.
Works for newer versions.
The links do not go to places with 'permission denied'.
I'm sorry, I was imprecise: I couldn't find the "Download server" option for any version at all anymore. However this was on another machine than the one I am on usually and there the launcher windows was smaller in horizontal size than on my other machine. Apparently if one makes the launcher window horizontally smaller beyond a certain point both the buttons next to the game directory text box as well as the "Download server" link aren't displayed.
I find this quite a weird behaviour and would report it as its own bug report. Or is it intended to work this way @peterix?
Anyway, now that we are on the same page again, I agree of course - if you don't have those server JARs anyways then it all works correctly now. Just wondering why you don't have those JARs anymore - but maybe you never had them to begin with. I can't remember anymore so I guess you just didn't build server JARs before 1.2.5.
So yea, I guess this is fixed then.
Launcher UI layout problems have nothing to do with server links being right or wrong.
Missing jars are a data problem, and need to be handled separately. As for why the jars aren't available... I'm guessing it was low priority to hunt for them when the new system was put in place. I think it deserves its own ticket too.
Let's split the layout going crazy, and the missing jars, into new tickets, and close this one. Can you open them?
Still these access denied errors.
