Database 404 error

When trying to update both databases I get a 404 error.

Hello. I did some research about what happened here:

Seems like Port Authority relays in Wireshark two data files from its github repository:

PortAuthority/app/src/main/java/com/aaronjwood/portauthority/async/DownloadOuisAsyncTask.java

Line 13 in 9dbc43e

private static final String SERVICE = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wireshark/wireshark/master/manuf";

PortAuthority/app/src/main/java/com/aaronjwood/portauthority/async/DownloadPortDataAsyncTask.java

Line 12 in 9dbc43e

private static final String SERVICE = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/wireshark/wireshark/master/services";

However it seems they changed that and now it generates them inside the app itself (explained in NEWS from 4.1.0 Release Notes):

The external name resolution text files "manuf", "enterprises" and "services" have been removed and replaced with static binary data. You can dump the respective internal data using tshark -G manuf|enterprises|services.

Looking the Wireshark source code, the manuf data is in wireshark/epan/manuf-data.c and services data in wireshark/epan/services-data.c. The files have comments section about where they take the data and how it retrieves them (and copyright notices).

Helpfully, there is a related issue report in their Gitlab https://gitlab.com/wireshark/wireshark/-/issues/19248, that point out that manuf can be retrieved from https://www.wireshark.org/download/automated/data/manuf and it's generated daily although the format is a bit different. About services there isn't any mention or link.

Same here, just got the donate version, so it would be really nice to get the DBs working again 😊

Confirmed that this bug is still present.
