Re: Space.com for Plucker

[Peter Jaspers-Fayer]

  Does anyone know the address for space.com's palm version.  I currently
  get it from Avantgo, but I would like to use Plucker instead.
 
 The one AvantGo uses is here:
 
 http://space.com/syn/avantgo/
 
 However, you'll need to use some source-routing tricks to fool it
 into believing you are coming from the avantgo.com netblock before it will
 let you in.

Interesting.  Something like:
wget --user-agent=AvantGo --referer=http://avantgo.com http://space.com/syn/avantgo/

? (That's still 403 Forbidden).

No, space.com is actually doing something a bit smarter than that,
in fact. They appear to be looking at REMOTE_ADDR, and determining if the
request comes from an allowed set of addresses in the AvantGo.com netblock.
If not, the request is denied.

There's a way around it, but it's not an easy path, mangling the
packet itself, but you'll never see the data coming back, since a forged
REMOTE_ADDR would send the response to the request off to the address you're
forging, i.e. AvantGo somewhere.

The other option is to hack a root DNS server to point that IP and
netblock back to you. I don't recommend this approach, however =)

There's a third approach, but I'm not going to discuss it on a
public mailing list out in the open, where members and employees of AvantGo
are most-certainly subscribed and listening.
