What might be helpful would be:
1. Add some logging. Up top:
import logging
then in the __call__ method:
def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
logging.info('__call__ sees UA: "%s"', environ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])
if environ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].startswith('curl'):
2. Deploy that
3. Check your logs. If you are being hit with lots of inbound curl calls, you
should get some clues right away. But you can also try hitting it with curl
yourself.
