[Solved] Web Server Block libwww-perl requests

by


Use agent method provided by LWP::UserAgent to change “user agent identification string”.

It should solve blocking based on client identification string.
It will not solve blocking based on abusive behavior.

perldoc LWP::UserAgent

agent

  my $agent = $ua->agent;
  $ua->agent('Checkbot/0.4 ');    # append the default to the end
  $ua->agent('Mozilla/5.0');
  $ua->agent("");                 # don't identify

Get/set the product token that is used to identify the user agent on the network. The agent value is sent as the User-Agent header in the requests.

The default is a string of the form libwww-perl/#.###, where #.### is substituted with the version number of this library.

If the provided string ends with space, the default libwww-perl/#.### string is appended to it.

The user agent string should be one or more simple product identifiers with an optional version number separated by the / character.
