I'm trying to set up a php webpage on my own site that (hourly) grabs and caches the news headlines from numerous websites including www.iconbar.com. However, when I try to open a socket on www.iconbar.com:80, and then send a GET request:
--
GET /cgi-bin/iconbar.rss HTTP/1.1
Host: www.iconbar.com

--
it fails, and I get a 403 Forbidden error back (I can post the full error report if you wish). The code works with slashdot, myriscos and others (although I get the same problem when trying to grab the acornarcade news). Do I have to do something special for The Iconbar?

The newsgrabber is running at:
http://anjackson.net/url/news/

Many Thanks,
Andy J.
