Bug #67540 [NEW]: svn.php.net blocking Drupal?

From: php dot net dot e at salvisberg dot com Operating system: PHP version: Irrelevant Package: Website problem Bug Type: Bug Bug description:svn.php.net blocking Drupal? Description: ------------ A Drupal module that I'm helping to maintain tries to download the following file: http://svn.php.net/repository/pear/packages/Mail_mimeDecode/trunk/Mail/mimeDecode.php I have no trouble downloading it using my web browser, but a user reports in https://www.drupal.org/node/2294753 that the request... GET /repository/pear/packages/Mail_mimeDecode/trunk/Mail/mimeDecode.php HTTP/1.0 User-Agent: Drupal (+http://drupal.org/) Host: svn.php.net ... fails with an HTTP forbidden notice. Indeed, I can easily reproduce that with wget (see Test script). Are you blocking the "Drupal" user agent? Why?
