OpenURI::HTTPError: 403 Forbidden

问题:

i'm using wikipedia-api plugin for get content's pages from wikipedia. From some days i receive this error when i try to get the contents:

  page = Wikipedia.find_by_titles('Foo') OpenURI::HTTPError: 403 Forbidden     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:277:in `open_http'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:616:in `buffer_open'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:164:in `open_loop'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `catch'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:162:in `open_loop'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:132:in `open_uri'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:518:in `open'     from /usr/lib/ruby/1.8/open-uri.rb:30:in `open'     from /home/luca/Programming/nerto_5/vendor/plugins/wikipedia-api/lib/mediawiki.rb:139:in `get_xml' 

What is that?

How can i do?

thanks

回答1:

I've solved changing

Hpricot.XML(open(url)) 

in

  Hpricot.XML(open(url, 'User-Agent' => 'ruby')) 

In the mediawiki.rb file

Yes it works.

The same for Nokogiri 403 Forbidden problems

doc = Nokogiri::HTML(open(site, 'User-Agent' => 'ruby'))
