Re: Debian CD vendor submission page problem
Hello there,
this is the right email address for your issue. :)
In short, this appears to be a problem with your server setup, as other
people are successfully submitting information via the form.

In order to avoid automated spam via the form, the form CGI tries to
download the page you submitted <http://www.svt.pl> and searches for the
word "Debian" inside it. However, when contacting your server, it only gets
a 403 response instead of a HTML document.
Our server sends the following HTTP request to yours:
----------------------------------------
GET / HTTP/1.1
TE: deflate,gzip;q=0.3
Connection: TE, close
Host: www.svt.pl
User-Agent: libwww-perl/5.805
----------------------------------------
Your server's response is as follows:
----------------------------------------
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Date: Sat, 12 May 2007 21:11:42 GMT
Server: Apache
Content-Length: 321
Connection: close
Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">
<html><head>
<title>403 Forbidden</title>
</head><body>
<h1>Forbidden</h1>
<p>You don't have permission to access /
on this server.</p>
<p>Additionally, a 404 Not Found
error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the
request.</p>
</body></html>
----------------------------------------
Please check your setup. In particular, check whether your configuration
includes any "protection" against automated spiders, bots, or similar...
Consider completely disabling this protection, as it can cause lots of
problems for people out there.
Cheers,
Richard
