"403 Forbidden <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_403>" "X-Squid-Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED 0" and do a quick Google search using relevant terms and you should be able to find out the issue pretty fast.
403 might not directly tell you that you used a bad user agent, but it should be a pretty big slap in the face that you weren't doing something right. This has been discussed on the mailing list already, so a good Google search using info from your error should spit out one or two sites or archives which mashup mailing lists. As for "HTML Content"? Head requests don't have HTML bodies. In this case there was absolutely no attempt to find more information on one's own, so you can't say it's impossible to find the information without coming to the list. ~Daniel Friesen (Dantman, Nadir-Seen-Fire) [http://nadir-seen-fire.com] -Nadir-Point & Wiki-Tools (http://nadir-point.com) (http://wiki-tools.com) -MonkeyScript (http://monkeyscript.org) -Animepedia (http://anime.wikia.com) -Narutopedia (http://naruto.wikia.com) -Soul Eater Wiki (http://souleater.wikia.com) Marco Schuster wrote: > On Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 9:00 PM, Leon Weber <[email protected]> wrote: > >> On 22.02.2009 03:57:15, [email protected] wrote: >> >>> OK, can you please stop giving 403 Forbidden for HEAD on both pages >>> that do and don't exist.
