Website tool no longer available for Linux

I just discovered that http://members.harmonyremote.com/ is gone. There's a new site at https://setup.myharmony.com/ that if you poke around, you can almost get to a web configuration tool, but it refuses to run for a browser on Linux. By faking an IE useragent, I managed to get a page or two into it and create a new myharmony account, but then it wanted me to install Microsoft Silverlight...

This is obviously not a bug with concordance. But this seems like as good a place as any to see if a workaround can be found and share it.

I think there must be some kind of unplanned outage, since that just looks like some default IIS page, rather than a "hey, go here instead" type thing.

On the remotes that use setup.myharmony.com, you can use MHGUI, which is part of Congruity: https://sourceforge.net/projects/congruity/

I was going to say the same thing - it doesn't look like an intentional shut
down. However, they've been saying "your software is out of date" on that site
for anyone accessing it directly forever, so it's possible. Hopefully it'll be
back soon though.

OK, so I noticed the site still showed the same thing, so I dug a little deeper. It looks like if you go to http://members.harmonyremote.com/EasyZapper/ you can get the familiar site. It seems that maybe they used to have a redirect on the root page, but it is gone now?

Thanks swt2c, that URL still seems to work! (I wonder for how much longer, but for now it looks like we'll still be able to use concordance.)
