EGB Website Link to NewGrounds is Broken
As of 5:30 am (NY time) on 6/30/2010 my PHP scripts that use the "curl_" functions to read web pages and parse them has stopped working - but only from the Newgrounds.com site. I tested my code by reading other sites, and it works. It looks like Newgrounds is blocking my reads. I have put a PM out to Tom Fulp to see if he was aware of any changes or if he was intentionally blocking the requests from www.wkrconcepts.com.
This block affects both the EGB roster scan AND NGLOGS!!!!! - neither site can read from NewGrounds anymore!
Eagle, if you have any ideas, I'm wide open, my friend. Any tricks up your sleeve with PHP? Maybe if I changed the header type to trick Newgrounds into thinking it was a "regular" browser request? Or do you think I'm being IP blocked?
Hopefully Tom will answer me soon, and we can work this out. If anyone else can lend a hand and put a good word in with Tom, that may be helpful, too!
