this is very strange....  it used to work - as recently as last week!
I'm pretty sure I didn't modify anything recently...  nope, mtime is Mar
13th, and that was just an error checking...

I see a whole bunch of hits from "lwp-trivial/1.32" but none from "LWP::Simple"
except the ones tonight.  (If that helps.)


I guess I could set the UA
to be something else... hmmm... like Mozilla9000 :)

yup, with Mozilla9000, it downloaded ok...  just weird - it did work
last week!

Hmmm.  Maybe it would be safest for you to set it to something containing
your name, or something having to do with LEGO -- something which would set
it apart weeks or months down the road the next time UA scanning comes up
again.  I'd hate to accidentally block your agent thinking it was some random
person just goofing around.  (I certainly won't remember that "Mozilla9000"
is Dan, so it's OK.)
