ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: HTTP response code said error(22) xbmc


I'm trying to host and distribute xbmc addon on my site. I've made a repository which points to the directory where the addon zip file is. At the same folder I have an xml which describes the addon and so the addon name and description are being recognized by xbmc. However when trying to install the addon it shows 0% downloading progress and then the progress disappears - resulting in the following error inside xbmc.log file:

ERROR: CCurlFile::FillBuffer - Failed: HTTP response code said error(22)

according to curl errors page, this happens when -

CURLE_HTTP_RETURNED_ERROR (22)

This is returned if CURLOPT_FAILONERROR is set TRUE and the HTTP server returns an error code that is >= 400.

by that I assume the error may be caused by a misconfigured access permissions (perhaps I need to change some htaccess configuration?). please help


Solution

  • I solved this on my own eventually. Apparently, the file structure was wrong - I needed to follow the file structure as mentioned in section 4.3 here in order for it to work
