Spider question

Post by mgpdevil »

One of my trades gives this spider error every minute:
<b>Header violation:</b> Status code 403 (Forbidden) was found on http://trade.com/
What does this mean? That they block the spider or what?
Is it possible to only use this spider option once a day only instead or something like that?

Go to trade settings and set "Spider Interval" to 24h and "violation interval" to 24h. The "Violation Interval" is kicking in if a violation is found. I.e. if set to 30 mins it will retry every 30 mins until no violation is found, regardless of what "Spider Interval" is set to.

A 403 is what it says, a forbidden page is requested from you (the spider) There might be some rewrite rules in effect on your tradepartners end. Difficult to say without seeing the headers.

If you would try to "wget" the return url, it would also give u 403. Nothing u can really do on your side. If you use v 2.0 yon can edit that trade and set spider to "disabled" for that individual trade only.
