embedded urls break with remote lists

[catalog]

Hi, a mailer with embedded urls for backgrounds, images etc. works with local lists but fail with remote lists with something like the following "http://www.geni-sys.net/" (local) becomes
"x-msg://477/locksidesoftware.com/lm/lm.php?tk=UGV0ZXIJUml0Y2hpZQkJcGV0ZXJyQGxvY2tzaWRlLmNvLnVrCUdvb2dsZSBNZXJjaGFudCAtIEphbnVhcnkgMjcJOAl0ZXN0CTQJY2xpY2sJeWVzCW5v&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.geni-sys.net with remote"

This is because the MLM URL you have entered in the preferences is wrong. Does it start with 'http://'?

Hi - sorry for the delay in replying, I did not see your reply. The url in preferences is http://locksidesoftware.com/lm/lm.php - is that incorrect? When a recipient of the email clicks on a link the page they click on is downloaded instead of displaying.

Thanks

Peter

Sorry, what page is downloaded? Can you give me an example?

Hi this is the embedded link as the recipient gets it is:- http://locksidesoftware.com/lm/lm.php?tk=UGV0ZXIJUml0Y2hpZQkJcGV0ZXJyQGxvY2tzaWRlLmNvLnVrCUdvb2dsZSBNZXJjaGFudCAtIEphbnVhcnkgMjcJMzQJZ29vZ2xlLW1lcmNoYW50CTc2NQljbGljawl5ZXMJbm8=&url=https%3A%2F%2Fs3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com%2Flockside.mailer.1110%2Findex.html

The link in the bulk mailer document code is <a href="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lockside.mailer.1110/index.html" target="_blank">

When I go to https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/lockside.mailer.1110/index.html with my browser I also get a download instead of the page. This is a server problem.

Thanks for your help - you were correct. It is something to do with permissions on the S3 bucket. Creaated a new one with the same permissions and it works fine. Sorry to have troubled you.
