Bug ID: 34745
Summary: ThingISBN broken: User agent blocked
Change sponsored?: ---
Product: Koha
Version: master
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: Architecture, internals, and plumbing
Assignee: [email protected]

Requests to LibraryThing's ThingISBN service are being blocked. Koha tries to
access a url like this:
https://www.librarything.com/api/thingISBN/0439139600
...which opens fine in a browser, but triggers the response "WARNING: URL
Request Failed 403 Forbidden" when Koha tries it.
Koha is currently sending the user agent "libwww-perl/6.52" and if I use
Firefox's developer tools to load the page with that set as a custom user agent
I get a CloudFlare-generated "access denied" message.
I see other CloudFlare customers complaining about this, so it may just be a
default. Should we ask LibraryThing to change their configuration? Should we
send a less obtrusive user agent with the request?
