Good morning,
My DEVONthink instance is being blocked from downloading feeds.
I already made sure, my Router IP (external) has changed. I can open all feeds in my browser. Using a different user agent would be the next step (guess) to mitigate that problem.
Having an option in DT4 to change the user-agent to different one would be quite helpful.
Cheers
It seems highly improbable that a site blocks access to a RSS feed by user agent. Why would they do that – RSS is only text and does not require any user agent capabilities, afaik.
Which of the feeds does expose the error?
These posts. That happen to work till 08.04. in DEVONthink.
Bloomberg is aggressively blocking bots. I download those feeds hourly. I will reduce the interval to once per day for now. Also got an error message withint DEVONthinks browser if I open the feed from within DEVONthink.
I was able to reproduce this, the next beta should fix this.
Thanks a lot!
This command… works for my DEVONthink 3, but I’m not sure if it’s also effective for DEVONthink 4. You can give it a try.
