I assume that you did full testing with the browser as I suggested? If
everything works, one other thing to keep in mind is that the target also
may implement reverse DNS lookup in their anti-bot. One good way to test
that is to remote in via SSH (if on Linux/Unix) to test with wget.
Otherwise, I'm pretty sure that target site have some anti-bot mechanisms in
place. Microseconds of analyzing valid 'user' requests is better than
processing 2-3 seconds and sending the response which will consume
bandwidth. What you could also try is setting different user-agents for
every request and use cookies in cURL should the target site have an
anti-bot mechanism.

Tommy
