I restarted the instance. I also got a copy of curl.exe for windows and it 
lets me through! :-(

My code is exactly this (below) and is in the file appengine_config.py in 
the root directory.

I also tested your example from my machine and got blocked.

I can't think of why this could be! I even altered appengine_config.py to 
have a syntax error and it picked it up, so I know it is loading.


from webob import Response

class AntiCurlMiddleware(object):
    def __init__(self, app):
        self.app = app

    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):
        if environ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].startswith('curl'):
            resp = Response('Too many requests!')
            resp.status = 423
            return resp(environ, start_response)
        return self.app(environ, start_response)

def webapp_add_wsgi_middleware(app):
    return AntiCurlMiddleware(app)
