Answer 1

Some servers has triggers that blocks access from "non-browsers". They understand that you are some kind of automatic app that can do a DOS attack. To avoid this, you can try to use a lib to access the resource and set the "browser" header.

wget works in this way:

 wget  -r -p -U Mozilla http://www.site.com/resource.html

Using Java, you can use the HttpClient lib and set the "User-Agent" header. Look the topic 5 of "Things To Try" section.

Hope this can help you.
