It looks to me like perl.apache.org is explicitly blocking wget
requests. If I do the request manually with netcat, sending the same
headers wget sends, it fails:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
User-Agent: Wget/1.5.3
Host: perl.apache.org:80
Accept: */*
returns
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2000 13:49:26 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.15-dev (Unix) tomcat/1.0
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
while, if I just change the string Wget to Blah, then it works.
