Re: Proxy server (and proxy users) receiving HTTP 403 when accessing www.php.net

Daniel, Raw telnet (bypassing the proxy) works correctly. Access to mirrors (ca2.php.net, us.php.net) works correctly with and without proxy. I am not aware of any special headers in our requests, but here is what we are sending: GET http://www.php.net/ HTTP/1.1 Accept: text/html, application/xhtml+xml, */* Accept-Language: en-US User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/5.0) Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Host: www.php.net If-Modified-Since: Wed, 15 Aug 2012 17:00:14 GMT Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive Cookie: COUNTRY=USA%2C63.238.139.251 Let me know if I can provide any additional detail.

Thank you > in advance > /JP I'm able to verify this on our end as well, James. Are you guys sending any additional or customized headers when the request is sent via the proxy? What happens when you manually hit the box via Telnet? What about a mirror (I have full access to ca2.php.net, so you can try that one)? -- </Daniel P.
