I wanted to install tank commander on this PC, but remembered you have to request a code for each computer you want to run a full version on. I went to the homepage to log in, but got the error 406 Not Acceptable. Anyone know what's happening?
It could be a web application firewall or something like that.
May be they are doing some maintenance or god knows what they are doing.
I hope they finish that up soon though.
That's the problem with registration systems that use the online checking system, if the server goes down for what ever reason, then you are stuck and must wait for the dev to fix the server up, and if the dev all of a sudden decides that he doesn't want to work on his games anymore and he's going to shut the server down, then there is no way out of it, unless he makes a patch or something.
I am not talking about gma games since no one knows what's exactly happening at the moment, but this is a problem with the online registration systems in general.
I honestly don't know. Wikipedia's information on this HTTP status code is obscure:
406 Not Acceptable
The requested resource is capable of generating only content not acceptable according to the Accept headers sent in the request.
However, the Wikipedia page on Content Negotiation says:
Content negotiation refers to mechanisms defined as a part of HTTP that make it possible to serve different versions of a document (or more generally, representations of a resource) at the same URI, so that user agents can specify which version fits their capabilities the best. One classical use of this mechanism is to serve an image in GIF or PNG format, so that a browser that cannot display PNG images (e.g. MS Internet Explorer 4) will be served the GIF version.
A resource may be available in several different representations; for example, it might be available in different languages or different media types. One way of selecting the most appropriate choice is to give the user an index page and let them select the most appropriate choice; however it is often possible to automate the choice based on some selection criteria.
So, I'd most likely choose the second option -- that they're doing maintenance on their site, and the resources your accessing has a UA it doesn't recognize. I just went to the log in page though and it works perfectly fine for me... not sure if its your browser or what.
