Hi, I have been using your excellent W3C Feed validator service using the Perl module for a while. However lately it seems I (IP 80.91.36.23) have been permanently blocked. I find this a bit odd, as on your web page you state that I would get removed from the blocklist within 24 hours? That is not happening. When I was using your service I was checking two feed URLs every 30 minutes when not failing, and every 10 minutes after a failure. This should be well within the tresholds you expect? I changed it to only check once per four hour, I even disabled the checks for some days. But I am always blocked. Can you look into it please? If you want people to use this service, I recommend not to permanently block people out. Ok? If feed validator service is not meant to be used in an automated fashion, perhaps it should state so? If the feed validator was possible to install locally I would do that, but the Perl module WebService::Validator::Feeed::W3C only makes calls against w3.org <http://w3.org/>. The request I send: HEAD /check?uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.document.no <http://2fwww.document.no/>%2Ffeed%2F;output=soap12 HTTP/1.1. TE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3. Connection: TE, close. Host: validator.w3.org <http://validator.w3.org/>. User-Agent: WebService::Validator::HTML::W3C/0.28. . The response I get: # T 128.30.52.65:80 -> 80.91.36.23:14386 [AF] HTTP/1.0 403 Forbidden Cache-Control: no-cache Connection: close Content-Type: text/html <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd>"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml <http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml>"> <head> <title>Forbidden due to abuse</title> </head> Bye, Mvh, — Anders Nordby anders@fupp.net <mailto:anders@fupp.net>
