In the past, I had this problem with my OIDC implementation. CloudFlare didn't
like "libwww-perl/#.###', but it would accept an empty string. So I added
$ua->agent(""); and it worked fine after that.
I feel like I've had to do this somewhere else more recently as well but I
can't remember where... but I just updated my user agent string and it was all
good.

Subject: [Koha-devel] Seeking comments on Bug 34745: ThingISBN broken
I noticed recently that requests to LibraryThing's ThingISBN service are being
blocked. Koha tries to access a url like this:
https://www.librarything.com/api/thingISBN/0439139600
...which opens fine in a browser, but triggers the response "WARNING:
URL Request Failed 403 Forbidden" when Koha tries it.
Koha is currently sending the user agent "libwww-perl/6.52" and if I use
Firefox's developer tools to load the page with that set as a custom user agent
I get a CloudFlare-generated "access denied"
message.
I see other CloudFlare customers complaining about this, so it may just be a
default. Should we ask LibraryThing to change their configuration? Should we
send a less obtrusive user agent with the request?
