epoch4life has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: I have in the past successfully used LWP::Useragent to crawl web sites in http or https to download data, but just can't make it work anymore with this new server. I feel this might be due to the server trying to refuse useragents deliberately. I read some post in this thread which suggested to impersonate a Firefox request. I tried my best in this regard all to no avail. More specifically, I'm trying to use LWP useragent to automate the collection of data from a site, but was always get refused with this message
I have narrowed it down to accessing just the URL https://tutorialregistration.uws.edu.au/aplus/admin/adminLogin.do which I can directly access from a browser, but failed with the above message when using LWP Useragent. This can be shown via
or
In both cases, if I replace the webpage URL by another https page (inside or outside Intranet), they both work fine. I really can't figure out what has gone wrong here. Please help. Many thanks. David
