I've got other reports of no problems accessing the site from the UK. There are three reasons you might get a 403 from our squids: 1) "&" in your URL (tends to produce infinite link loops that broken spiders follow) Doesn't appear to apply. 2) Missing or blacklisted User-Agent header Could be something custom in your browser or proxy configuration. 3) You're connecting from an IP address that's been blacklisted due to abusive spidering Not knowing where you're coming from, we can't really check this. :) -- brion _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
