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

Rasmus, Do you have any background information on the nature of the traffic? What volume of traffic or what type of requests would result in being blocked?

I'll see if the traffic is still in the logs, but it has to be crazy excessive before we block anyone. In 15+ years of PHP we have only ever blocked 6 ips, so... -Rasmus
