That's something the server end decided to spew out based on some heuristics
that we don't know about. Most likely based on the user-agent string, or
cookies or something else.

"older" being an understatement. >6 years old, 5 security vulnerabilities and

curl doesn't work with firefox at all and it doesn't care about it the
slightest. So no.

Jim Young gave me a good suggestion of using the -user-agent option, and that is working. However, I do know that we need to upgrade, but my Sys Admin is having problems of downloading the precompiled version and all of it's dependencies for AIX 6.1.
I have also tried compiling the newest version and get a compile error. It looks like it's a license error, but the Sys Admin says they get the same type of error with sudo and it finishes, while cURL does not. So, they assume it's an error with cURL source code.
It sounds like we still might have to use the -user-agent option even with a newer version of cURL, especially since it looks like the server is actually giving that error and not cURL.
I'll try to let everyone know how it goes.
Thanks for the help.
