Curl 403 Access Forbidden
Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top why would curl and wget result in a 403 forbidden? up vote 29 down vote favorite 13 I try to download a file with wget and curl and it is rejected with a 403 error (forbidden). I can view the file using the web browser on the bypass 403 forbidden same machine. I try again with my browser's user agent, obtained by http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com. I do this: wget -U 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0' http://... and curl -A 'Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:30.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/30.0' http://... but it is still forbidden. What other reasons might there be for the 403, and what ways can I alter the wget and curl commands to overcome them? (this is not about being able to get the file - I know I can just save it from my browser; it's about understanding why the command-line tools work differently) update Thanks to all the excellent answers given to this question. The specific problem I had encountered was that the server was checking the referrer. By adding this to the command-line I could get the file using curl and wget. The server that checked the referrer bounced through a 302 to another location that performed no checks at all, so a curl or wget of that site worked cleanly. If anyone is interested, this came about because I was reading this page to learn about embedded CSS and was trying to look at the site's css for an example. The

Essentially, GoDaddy's proxy server (which they force you to http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/139698/why-would-curl-and-wget-result-in-a-403-forbidden use for cURL) was giving me a "Forbidden" error and wasn't trying to hit the necessary server. Here's the code that GoDaddy tells you to use for cURL transactions: $URL='https://www.paypal.com'; $ch = curl_init(); echo 'URL = $URL
n'; curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, TRUE); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXYTYPE, CURLPROXY_HTTP); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_PROXY,'http://proxy.shr.secureserver.net:3128'); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, FALSE); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_URL, https://davidwalsh.name/godaddy-curl-http-403-errors $URL); curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_TIMEOUT, 120); $result = curl_exec ($ch); echo '
n'; echo 'Errors: ' . curl_errno($ch) . ' ' . curl_error($ch) . '
'; echo '
n'; curl_close ($ch); print 'result - $result'; echo '
n'; The problem is that since I'm not using SSL in this instance, I don't need to use the following cURL option: curl_setopt($ch,CURLOPT_HTTPPROXYTUNNEL, true); Remember that if you receive this error from GoDaddy's server. Hopefully I save someone a bunch of time with this.

Monday, 403 forbidden 13 June 2011 15:08 CDT jrebele Folks, I have successfully been able to get my Akeeba Backup Pro running from the Joomla Administration panel without any internal server error messages. When I try to execute through CPanel Cron Job, it does not run at all. I have tried backup.php and it generates a partial jpa file and stops. I changed to atlbackup.php and it does not generate any 403 forbidden error log files or a jpa file. I redirected standard out to a text file and have attached that file. It basically just says starting backup. Any thoughts how I should diagnosis this problem or resolve? Thanks, Joe Monday, 13 June 2011 15:37 CDT jrebele Folks, FYI. The following is the command line I am using in the Godaddy CRON Job Manager: /web/cgi-bin/php5 /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/administrator/components/com_akeeba/altbackup.php >> /home/content/xx/xxxxxxx/html/Backups/NPHIC-Backup-Log.txt 2>&1 Thanks, Joe Monday, 13 June 2011 16:01 CDT nicholas SOLOPHP, BACKUPWP, AKEEBASUBS, JOOMLADELUXE The is a known issue with GoDaddy's shared accounts. They do not allow you to run a CRON job for more than 3 minutes and they will not make an exception (unlike most other hosts). Instead, if you ask them, they will try to upsell you to a VPS or a dedicated server. This is one option. The other options you have are: 1. Try using the front-end backup feature with whet to schedule the backup. This usually works, but it's not entirely guaranteed that it will in your case. 2. Go to another host with faster servers and more elastic policies when it comes to scheduling backups, such as Rochen, CloudAccess.net, redHOST or RackSpace Cloudsites.
