It does seem to be at least partially due to user agent, but I'm not
sure exactly what they're testing for.  If I use the same user agent
that my installed firefox uses, I get the 403, even though firefox gets
in with the same user agent, but if I use a nasty message I won't show
here (hoping to leave that message in the logs, in case they ever look
at those logs), I get the page.  I also get the page if I use an old
Internet Explorer user agent or a sidekick or Blackberry user agent,
but an Android one gets the 403.  I've tried several of these multiple
times, and the results seem to be consistent, so I have no idea what's
going on.  Just experiment with different ones, and something will get
the page.

I am answering from a downright old computer with old Firefox (52.9). My attempts have mystifying outcomes. Well over a dozen times I tryed it. My first few, at least 5, had mostly Access Denied for the outcome, but never more after that. There is sometimes also very bad misformatting, but I blame my old computer for that.
