Omnom getting 403
« on: July 26, 2013, 07:16:25 pm »
I hope this is the right place to put this....but yeah, Omnom, our new post notification bot, is (again) keep getting 403 forbidden when trying to access the feed ( http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=.xml;limit=1 )
This also happend yesterday at about this time. Could it be that the server blocks it out due to requests every 5 seconds?

It's possible that CloudFlare saw the bot connections as a DoS attack or a spambot. You might want to check with admins to make sure it's exempt.

yeah but some admins usually ignore most topic in the site feedback subforum most days so it might take days before they notice about the it. If you get no answer today you will probably have to send an email to their address.

I tricked now the omnimaga server into not thinking that it is a bot, and it is up and running again! :D
BTW, i did that by setting in the http headers the 'User-Agent' to 'Derpy Hooves'

Someone with access to CloudFlare could probably put the bot on a whitelist.

Yes, and as far as I know, Sorunome's IP is already on the whitelist.

Well, the bot runs on withg.
The problem wasn't cloudflare, the problem was omnimagas nginx blocking out python bots, so i had to specify a browser in the url parameters. Anyways, it is working :)

Oh, then it was cloudflare....or idk, something gave me 403 but i overwent it by specifying a browser in the http headers
