Unregistered user	Hi there, I'm trying to set up a php webpage on my own site that (hourly) grabs and caches the news headlines from numerous websites including www.iconbar.com. However, when I try to open a socket on www.iconbar.com:80, and then send a GET request: -- GET /cgi-bin/iconbar.rss HTTP/1.1 Host: www.iconbar.com -- it fails, and I get a 403 Forbidden error back (I can post the full error report if you wish). The code works with slashdot, myriscos and others (although I get the same problem when trying to grab the acornarcade news). Do I have to do something special for The Iconbar? The newsgrabber is running at: http://anjackson.net/url/news/ Many Thanks, Andy J.

Unregistered user	I've added anti-spam harvester and general bad spider protection to the server, so yes, but I'll email you to tell you how to fix it.
