Always get a Forbidden access error on wiki.debian.org #226

Closed aelmahmoudy closed 1 year ago

aelmahmoudy commented 1 year ago

I always get a 403 Forbidden access error on https://wiki.debian.org. I tried with: elinks -no-connect -no-home , assuming that there could be a probkem with some config option or some old cookie, yet I still get forbidden access, I also tried changing the Agent identification string to Mozilla, yet the same error.

On main page, too? Main page was displayed for me. I have no account to check login. In src/network/socket.c there is:

/* To enable logging of tranfers, for debugging purposes. */
#if 0

#define DEBUG_TRANSFER_LOGFILE "/tmp/log"

You can change it to #if 1, recompile, browse and save log somewhere. Similar option has links2 (in connect.c). Just define LOG_TRANSFER. You can compare later both logs. Cookies or request headers might be wrong.

Did this commit help or not? Does it work on elinks-0.16?

aelmahmoudy commented 1 year ago

No, this commit didn't fix it. links2 gives the same problem. The issue is in elinks 0.16, but not in elinks 0.13.2

Did that, here's the log:

I can't reproduce it. It is question for admins of wiki.debian.org . There can be block based on geoip for example.

Indeed I tested from another machine and it worked !
