I guess it does not set a User Agent header. Wikimedia now requires this
due to abuse by misbehaving bots.

SxWiki says it is written in PHP, so either set it in your php.ini file,
or add the following somewhere to your version of it:

ini_set( 'user_agent', 'Jason's Bot (using SxWikiPro-0.2-beta)' )

It should be fairly simple to set the user agent for any framework if
I've got the wrong end of the stick, Google is your friend.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
