    Just wanted to update you on the fact that we fixed the issue with Megite. The long and short of the matter was that requests from Megite were exhibiting the following behavior:

    1) The reverse DNS looked like it was coming from a home DSL user (netblock-66-245-250-218.dslextreme.com)
    2) Not using If-Modified-Since requests or compression
    3) The identifying User-Agent (from our sampling) was a generic ‘libwww-perl/5.805′ rather than something that identified itself as Megite

    These three things caused us to suspect the useragent and deny the requests. We have since worked with Matt at Megite to straighten everything out and all is well in feed land. :-) In fact, within an hour of getting the note Matt sent me we had unblocked him. If you have any more questions regarding this matter or anything else just let me know. Thanks!

    Cheers,

  2. Thanks for the link to Siberian Light – I’m glad you enjoyed reading.

    I’m based in London, so it can be a little worrying at times, but I console myself with the thought that I can’t afford to eat in the type of fancy restaurant favoured by rich Russians in London, so I should be pretty safe from radiation poisoning….

  3. Eric,
    Thanks for the update! I’ll put this comment in my upcoming link blog to clarify the situation. Hope that’s good for you.

    Andy,
    Thanks for the comment. It’s a well written blog with clean design on a good but not so well-covered topic. It’s only natural that I spread the word. Keep up the great work!
