HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
EDIT: Well, I rebooted the computer and the Sage, reconnected and the problem didn't recur. So, whatever it was, it appears to have gone away.
OP: I'm not sure where to report this. But, I just connected my Kobo Sage to Calibre and up popped the following error: Code:

Just came here to report this. Am getting the same error every time I connect my Kobo Glo HD. Started happening after update to v6.22. And yes, a reboot appears to 'have solved it 😊

This appears to be an issue with the KoboUtilities plugin when it is trying to check for a new firmware update. I haven't taken much of a look at it but it appears that the URL that is used to check is no longer valid.

error caused by Kobo Utilities?
I had this error as well, and after uninstalling KoboUtilities it no longer occurs.

Hi,

Got that 403 today. Funnily, before that, Kobo Utilities successfully reported a new Firmware version (with ver. nr.) available, so it's maybe just the download link. The error message shows a call stack: Quote:

Forget using Kobo Utilities to check for new firmware. It won't work. Kobo is using Cloudflare to block unauthorized connections. And unless Kobo Utilities is upgraded like Kobo Metadata was, it will fail.

Clod fare is a pain with their false positive blocking even on browsers they don't like.

And a quick note for everyone. This is about Kobo Utilities so this should have been posted in the Kobo Utilities Plugins thread.
