Follow-up Comment #5, sr #111187 (group administration): Using a desktop user-agent for a CI/CD check is disingenuous. I know it is the path of least resistance, but currently web hosts are seeing a large number of disingenuous user-agents most of which are AI startups with custom crawlers that are breaking pages. When I see them in the logs, I tend to block them. If you were to append something like (https://brew.sh/ci-bot; mailto: b...@brew.sh) to the user-agent with a page about what it is doing, I would not block such a thing upon manual review. That is the commonly used format that I have seen in the wild.
I probably did not even block homebrew specifically. I probably saw abuse from some other GitHub Action that was not checking annually. I believe the GitHub Actions CIDRs are listed here: https://api.github.com/meta I can compare my firewall rules with those and see what my note was. Fixing this for your annual check will likely open us up to the reason I blocked the address in the first place. Our webpages are very old and change infrequently. I would like to opt-out of this check. _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.nongnu.org/support/?111187> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.nongnu.org/
