[Lynx-dev] restricted access [Error 403]

[Henry Nelson]

Hello Lynx friends,

Many apologies for slowly slacking off the list.

Today I was trying to access
 "http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1062147";
with Lynx, but I got the message:

|              NCBI/ipmc3 - The requested page has restricted access [Error 403]
|
|                              Restricted Access
|
|  You are trying to access a restricted page. If you believe that you
|  have permission to view the page, please send an [1]email to PMC and
|  include the following information.
|  URL: http://pmc.lb.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1062147
|  Client: [my ip address; deleted]
|  User Agent: Lynx/2.8.6pre.3 libwww-FM/2.14 SSL-MM/1.4.1 OpenSSL/0.9.7d
|  Server: ipmc3
|  Time: Tue Jul 28 07:42:35 2009 EDT

However, this is the online open access version.  I can access it as
expected with MSIE, Firefox and Safari.

I'd be willing to report the problem to PMC if the cause is likely
to be with their server, and not with Lynx.  Please justify your
comments so I can make an intelligent appeal to PMC.

Thanks much.
