Hello,

I use lwp to monitor our web servers.  For one server, I've got a script that
runs at a remote site and does a GET of the home page every 15 minutes.  I do
the same thing with a script which runs on the same computer as the server.

Last night, the script at the remote location returned "403 Forbidden".
However, the script running on the server found no problems at all.  The
remote script does go through a proxy server, but it monitors several other
servers, and the error only occurred with one.  The server was unreachable by
the remote script for an hour on two separate occasions, so this rules out
the possibility that the problem wasn't there when the local script ran.

I would have assumed that a 403 error would only come from the web server
except for the fact that the script running on the server platform was happy.
Is there anything else that'll cause lwp to return a 403? Would network
problems do it? I'm running lwp 5.48 and Perl 5.6.0 on HP-UX 11.0.

Thanks,

Rodney
