Jerusalem Post fails

mjfriedman · 12-09-2021, 08:02 PM

For many months, Calibre routinely fetched the news from the Jerusalem Post homepage RSS feed, https://rss.jpost.com/rss/rssfeedsfrontpage.aspx .

For the past week the pull produces an empty document, just the title page and no articles. If I manually have Calibre pull again from the feed, the articles appear.

Any suggestions? I'm not technically adept; just a reader....

And thanks!

If you look at the jb log for it you will see that jpost is blocking requests to fetch the rss feeds. And indeed trying to do so with curl also fails

curl -I https://www.jpost.com/rss/rssfeedsar...iconflict.aspx
HTTP/2 403

althogh the feeds work in the browser, so I guess they are doing some kind of analysis of the http request headers beyond user-agent.
