Hi,
I'm looking to install geoserver on a ship.
I'd like to use the GEBCO WMS service to provide a background map layer, but 
cache it locally to avoid internet traffic.
The capabilities doc is 
at:https://wms.gebco.net/mapserv?REQUEST=GETCAPABILITIES&VERSION=1.3.0&SERVICE=WMS
The layer I wish to provide is: GEBCO_LATEST_SUB_ICE_TOPO
I can connect & get the capabilities doc in a browser. I can select & open the 
layer in QGIS.
When I try to set up a WMS store in Geoserver I enter the required parameters, 
but get told the connection test to the URL failed with error 403.
I understand this means the Gebco server is refusing to reply with the doc. I'm 
not sure why the URL works from a browser but fails when sent from Geoserver, 
any suggestions appreciated, as far  as I know it is an identical request, from 
the same host.

Thanks,
  Brent Wood.
