#13011 History of a file on src.fp.o returns HTTP/403 Forbidden
Closed: Fixed by zlopez. Opened by lbalhar.

Closed: Fixed
Reopen Issue

When I open https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/python-requests/blob/rawhide/f/system-certs.patch and click on "History" button, I get HTTP/403. I've tried f43 branch with the same result.

Describe what you would like us to do:

Fix it, please, if it's an infra bug. If not, I can report it to Pagure instead.

When do you need this to be done by? (YYYY/MM/DD)

Rather soon, if possible.

I thought that this is just a rule in httpd conf because of AI scrapers. But I couldn't find anything and at first glance I don't see anything wrong with the repository either. But I tried few other files in the repository and all of them are throwing 403 when trying to show up history of the file and not only in this repository, it seems the 403 is persistent when trying to look at the history of any file on src.fedoraproject.org.

This was deliberately set by me in ansible commit https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/c/ea1a9a5b6ba8ae1c1d261a3b0a3905bccadc59f3?branch=main

Yes, it was due to scrapers hitting that endpoint really really hard.

I suppose we could try reopening history, as it was less trouble than blame. I am pretty against reopening blame tho.

I didn't expected it to be blocked at the proxy level. Thanks for pointing that out.

I opened https://pagure.io/fedora-infra/ansible/pull-request/3020 to re-enable the history endpoint. I will wait for @kevin giving it +1 before merging it.

+1 sure, we can try it... but be ready to revert.

The history is now re-enabled. And everything seems OK for now. Let me close this as fixed.
