Raj sorry I misread your question. This initial response is in re: my listener.
The "sender" of this POST request is a third party server that we have no control over. However, even when debugging with wget we receive the 403. Here is the wget command I've been testing with: $ wget http://www.url.com/subdir/listener/ --post-data "?test=test" -U "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_6_4; en-us) AppleWebKit/ 533.16 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.0 Safari/533.16" --2010-07-27 20:06:36-- http://www.url.com/subdir/listener/ Resolving [URL] ... [IP ADDRESS] Connecting to [URL]|[IP ADDRESS]|:80... connected. HTTP request sent, awaiting response... 403 Forbidden 2010-07-27 20:06:37 ERROR 403: Forbidden. However, if I send without the post-data, here's the response: $ wget http://www.url.com/subdir/listener/ --2010-07-27 20:31:14-- http://www.url.com/subdir/listener/ Resolving [URL]...
