the Satellite TLE Updater module's user agent in 0.10.6.1 is incomplete as it has been in earlier versions since the TLE updater was introduced... currently the UA is only Mozilla/5.0 and there are many security devices that are alerting and/or blocking based on this... why? because there's a lot of black traffic out there using this same agent so it and its activities are suspicious...
the suggestion is to use a more complete user agent in the web code section for the Satellite TLE Updater... possibly something simple like the following...
Mozilla/5.0 (Stellarium TLE Updater v:x.x.x.x; http://stellarium.site/TLE_Updater)
where the v:x.x.x.x is the Stellarium version OR the updater module's version OR some possible combination of both (ie: 9.10.6.1-0.42.3 where 0.42.3 is the updater's version)
see RFC-1945 at http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1945 for more information if desired... |
