kdbx on web server bug

[Former user]

I have browsepass and a soft link (ln -s) of my kdbx file on my web server that points to another directory that has my kdbx file, which is remotely synced by other computers.

Whenever I update my kdbx file, browsepass fails to show the changes of my file, even though the file was synced successfully.

I am able to open winscp, and copy the kdbx file to my local desktop. Winscp automatically follows the softlink to the correct file and downloads the file. Opening the file on a local version of keepass verifies the change that I made on another computer (or on the same computer), but browsepass fails to show this change.

This leads me to believe browsepass does not correctly follows soft links (OR does follow them by nature, but uses caching of the previous database file, or some other problem :/)

Will you be able to fix this?

BrowsePass does not handle the downloading or following symlink on its own. This is all handled by the browser.

Here's the test:

1. Use your browser to download the KDBX file.
2. Update the file.
3. Let it sync.
4. Use your browser to download the KDBX file again.

Compare the two downloaded files. If they are the same, it confirms that it is not a bug in BrowsePass. If they are indeed different, I'd love to know more about your setup so that I can reproduce it on my machine.
