Skuzzy, Is my hosting provider being blocked?
« on: April 12, 2013, 12:44:50 PM »
I use a linux text browser lynx to visit the HTC scoring pages and save the data to a file which I then parse for squadron members and scores.  As of today this is no longer working. 

I tried the page address from my local home PC, and it works fine:
http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/sqdscore.php?action=1&Submit=Get+Ranks&playername=Tazz69&selectTour=LWTour159

When I log into my hosting provider's server and execute the lynx command to visit the same site:
lynx -nomargins -width:500 "http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/newscores/sqdscore.php?action=1&Submit=Get+Ranks&playername=Tazz69&selectTour=LWTour159"

I get the following response:
You don't have permission to access /newscores/sqdscore.php on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Regards,

An example of the awesomeness of being able to sort by columns, etc, from last tour: http://www.horizonx.org/tourstats/current.html

Please help, we really like this parser!

Thanks

Pand, PM me an IP address please.

There are many hosting providers who also play hosts to hackers or allow open relays to be used by hackers.  We are sensitive to these types of services and do what we must to protect our servers from them.

I'll be happy to research it for you.
