Hi Shawn, I had a problem with a wordpress plug in called Bad Behavior and the validator. Seems it caused a 403 for the validator and give the following message:- "Header 'Pragma' without 'Cache-Control' prohibited..." Any idea how I can get around this? I understand its the way curl is called by the validator. Rob.
Hi Shawn, I know your busy and don't support 3rd party plugins etc. But this may help the coop - its a good "do no evil" plugin so if the validator can work around it (I know I know you hate those words!) by providing the header it wants it will be very handy. It can be used by other systems too like phpbb and vb..... I found this link (sorry I know nothing about curl..yet) that seems to explain the problem http://curl.haxx.se/mail/archive-2005-12/0003.html It seems the plugin is strict on this header and by default curl doesn't provide it..... but it can be enabled within curl. Rob.
Sorry, I don't have time to be changing how everything works to support 3rd party changes to their servers...
Hi, ok - its just a heads up as the guy will be making it availible to to other php systems (vb, durpol etc) and its very popular in wordpress as is stop most spam and bots. Thanks for looking. I will see if I can find a workaround.... Rob.
