Re: Forbidden and 403 error pages

I'm almost certain that Tripod are blocking Virgin Media - and this includes both the ex-ntl and ex-Telewest networks.

The headers being returned are as follows:

The 403 error is definitely being generated by the Tripod server, identified in red above. The bizarre thing is the line in blue - this would normally indicate that I had accessed the site via one of the ex-ntl proxy servers (specifically one of the older Inktomi ones, possibly Hersham by the signature, and manually rather than transparently as indicated by the capital 'M'). The complication being that, where I am at the moment, I definitely am not.
