The page Getting Started with Kibana ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/getting-started.html)) points to a sample data file shakespeare.json. When I attempt to download it, my browser complains: Too many redirects Is there any fix or workaround? thanks! ---

Worked for me the first time I tried it! ---

Odd - when I try the download in Firefox, Chromium or wget it fails with a redirect loop - see the output below. I'm on Ubuntu 15.10. I do see IPv6 addresses in the wget output - perhaps this could have to do with that? > $ wget [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) > --2016-02-13 18:36:00-- [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) > Resolving [www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co) ([www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co))... 2406:da00:ff00::3210:ef4e, 2406:da00:ff00::3213:d205, 2406:da00:ff00::1717:57a0, ... > Connecting to [www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co) ([www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co))|2406:da00:ff00::3210:ef4e|:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently > Location: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) [following] > --2016-02-13 18:36:00-- [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) > Connecting to [www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co) ([www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co))|2406:da00:ff00::3210:ef4e|:443... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently > Location: [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) [following] > --2016-02-13 18:36:00-- [http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json](http://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/3.0/snippets/shakespeare.json) > Connecting to [www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co) ([www.elastic.co](http://www.elastic.co))|2406:da00:ff00::3210:ef4e|:80... connected. > HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 301 Moved Permanently > ... ---

I found the shakespeare.json file in the Kibana GitHub repository: > So that's one way to get it as a workaround. ---

There was no proxy - I was trying this at home with a Comcast internet connection. I just tried the download where I am now (at work) and it worked fine. I strongly suspect this is related to IPv6 since your wget output shows IPv4 addresses, as does mine when I try this here at work. I happen to know that my home ISP (Comcast) allows IPv6 resolution whereas my work environment does not. ---
