Hi!
I have created a location search system and want to add a simple short info about locations from Wikipedia. To do this, I use php script, which loads info from this url: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=sear...
It works fine when I use it from my local Apache at home. But when I upload php script to the remote server (website), I get error: Request: GET http://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=query&list=sear..., from 64.202.165.132 via sq27.wikimedia.org (squid/2.6.STABLE18) to () Error: ERR_ACCESS_DENIED, errno [No Error] at Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:40:39 GMT
Why does it deny from remote server, but allows from a local? Does wikipedia block requests by IP addresses?
Thank you, Shal.
You probably want the mailing list wikitech-l; this list is for the Communication Projects Group ([[m:ComProj]]).
Thanks,
Sean

IPs which have produced a big number of requests (which means a really big number) are blocked at the squid level, which seems to be what's happening to you.
Well, it is a godaddy shared server, they have myriads of sites hosted. Now I see. Thank you.

Yes, well, even though it was off-topic, it was the most excitement this list has seen in a while! Thanks! :)
