|    BitBucket Seem To Be Blocking A Specific    |
|    19 Jan 26 05:46:26    |
      From: ldo@nz.invalid              Here’s a weird thing: as of a few days ago, bitbucket.org seems to be       blocking a specific version of Firefox. Or rather, it looks to me like       a bug rather than a deliberate block, because you get a 404 error       (page not found) trying to access something as simple as the home       page, instead of a response that says “keep out” more explicitly, like       a 403 error (access forbidden).              I have verified that the problem is down to the user-agent string,       which means I can reproduce it with a simple wget command, without       actually involving Firefox at all. Here’s a command to reproduce the       error, using the exact same user-agent string as my current version of       Firefox would present:               wget --user-agent="Mozilla/5.0 (Linux x86_64; rv:146.0) Gecko/20100101       Firefox/146.0" https://bitbucket.org/              If I fiddle with that user-agent string in various ways (like changing       the version number), the access will succeed. You can try this for       yourself.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
