Edit report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=67540&edit=1 ID: 67540 Updated by: bjori@php.net Reported by: php dot net dot e at salvisberg dot com Summary: svn.php.net blocking Drupal? -Status: Open +Status: Not a bug Type: Bug Package: Website problem PHP Version: Irrelevant Block user comment: N Private report: N New Comment: I do indeed recall an issue where we had to block drupal installation from ddosin our svn repository. It is clearly not cool on your part to be abusing our repository like this - and its not very smart either, as a svn repository is not somewhere you should be sending your production users. Please use the normal download mechanism offered.

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?
