Hello,

Last week I encountered Forbidden when visiting https://kerkour.com with a webbrowser.

It is reproducible from the command line:

$ curl --silent  https://kerkour.com
Forbidden
$

Today I digged deeper and found

$ whois kerkour.com | head -n 8
   Domain Name: KERKOUR.COM
   Registry Domain ID: 2114873420_DOMAIN_COM-VRSN
   Registrar WHOIS Server: whois.registrar.amazon.com
   Registrar URL: http://registrar.amazon.com

   Registry Expiry Date: 2030-04-16T17:02:18Z
   Registrar: Amazon Registrar, Inc.

With this issue is the expired expiry date documented.

The site seems to ban wide range of IP addresses, including Internet Archive and a downtime checker. robots.txt does also seem restrictive.

Seems like viewing that site is a privilege, not right.

Using Firefox to access sites gives me HTTP 403 forbidden for all content pages. But metadata like robots.txt can be seen without issue.

I've tried google chrome and that works. Content pages are loaded fine.

Closing this issue (that I opened). The

$ curl --silent  https://kerkour.com
Forbidden
$

is still present. Seems like viewing the site is a privilege for some webbrowsers, not a right for each HTTP client. I could do reproduce the "Using Firefox to access sites gives me HTTP 403 forbidden, I've tried google chrome and that works", but not now.
