Description
I am not sure if this is a bug or not...
I click on the link below the security hash field in order to regenerate the key, and I get an empty page.
Is this right?

Yes, this is the correct behavior. This link is indeed for copy and paste purposes only. The security hash is used as a "security by obscurity" measure to prevent causing massive loads by permanent regeneration of the compressed files through third parties. There is no way to regenerate the security hash automatically. You have to come up with a new unique string by yourself.
