Hi, I'm the developer of a free-to-use uptime monitoring service: Uptime Robot (http://www.uptimerobot.com/).
When a user adds a website to Uptime Robot for monitoring it,our application is sending regular "HEAD", "GET" and/or "PING" requests to applications hosted on GAE to find out if they are "up" or "down". For the last 5-7 days, we realized that the IP of our application is blocked by GAE. We send requests from: "74.86.158.106" and "*.uptimerobot.com". If I try to browse a GAE hosted website from 74.86.158.106, I get a HTTP 403 status with details: ***************** ForbiddenYour client does not have permission to get URL / from this server. (Client IP address: 74.86.158.106) You are accessing this page from a forbidden country. ***************** Uptime Robot is a totally legitimate application and I know that GAE does not block all uptime monitoring services. So, I'm thinking that this must be by mistake or there must be a way to unblock the IPs. I'll be glad to get any help. Thanks so much. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google App Engine" group. To post to this group, send email to google-appengine@googlegroups.com.
