Fix battle.net 2600 error

Recently I tried to install the latest patch for Heroes of the Storm when I got a nasty error code 2600, Whoops! something broke.

wrong

Re-installing battle.net didn’t fix the issue. After much frustration I came across this post, which describes situations when you’re behind a caching proxy (which I am.)

I did as it directed, which is to disable the caching function of my proxy and delete anything Blizzard-related from my %temp% folder.

That did the trick. All is well now!

Update: I decided that rather than disabling caching / virus checkings completely I would create an exception in Sophos UTM web access policy. Thanks to the guidance from here I added the following exception:
