I tried it in a handful of browsers (lynx, links, links2, w3m, dillo, chromium, firefox). Some of them consistently gave a 503 error, some consistently loaded. I've seen some sites like this before where some aspect (user-agent, IPv4-vs-IPv6, etc) causes it to fail in one browser while working fine in another. Sadly, it seems to be somewhat intentional (there was a particular Apache module, mod_proxy, that was known for blocking certain user-agents and causing other interruptions in the name of "security") So I wish I could give some magic "oh, just do this", but the website is adversarially (mis)configured. -tim _______________________________________________ Lynx-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lynx-dev
