I am not sure if this has been covered already, but here goes: I am using LWP::UserAgent to perform a GET request (search query) on google.com.
I guess google.com got tired of people running autonomous queries through their portal because they apparently check-out the client now to see of it is a real web browser or just a Perl script in disguise. My Perl script get the following 403 Error from google.com when I attempt a query: ..... Forbidden Your client does not have permission to get URL xxx (Client IP address: xxx) Please see Google's Terms of Service posted at http://www.google.com/terms_of_service.html ..... I though I could fool google.com by just setting my UA to Mozilla/4.0 but that didn't help. What's the secret? What other things do I have to forge to get google.com to believe that I am a browser? Thanks. -John
