It's not really a surprise that a DDoS protection service uses an aggresive blocking policy not very friendly to various minor browsers. Nothing here that can be fixed by nginx though, and writing to this list is likely useless (well, some people from CloudFlare are likely to read this list, but I doubt they'll notice this thread, and anyway it's a wrong way to contact them). -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list nginx@nginx.org http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
