[Rivet] FastJet "robot" downloads blockedAndy Buckley andy.buckley at ed.ac.ukFri Apr 19 11:42:28 BST 2013
Hi Gregory, Gavin, et al, We've noticed recently that the FastJet website blocks "robot" downloads of the FastJet tarball, e.g. http://fastjet.fr/repo/fastjet-3.0.3.tar.gz Unfortunately this means that the Rivet bootstrap script can fail if it tries to download and build FastJet, rather than using the LCG installed copy from AFS. We're using Python's urllib2 to do the fetching... is there anything weor you can do to not fall foul of this blocking? (I'm not sure if urllib2 automatically respects robots.txt files, but if you want to give us a special unblocked User-Agent name to use, I'm sure we can manage to update our script accordingly) Thanks!
