I had created an Activity for the One Laptop Per Child project which downloads and reads the Plain Text version of PG titles. I use the offline catalogue and some Python code to list available titles in the catalogue that match a search string. For instance the child might enter "Twain" and get a list of all the books by and about Twain. Then the child can download the book using the same program. This has been working well for years but lately it has stopped working. When I try to debug it I see it trying to download this URL for instance: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/1/119/119.zip Put this URL in any web browser and it will download "A Tramp Abroad" by Mark Twain. However, try and download the same URL using my Python code and you get this: Forbidden You don't have permission to access /dirs/1/1/119/119.zip on this server. ------------------------------ Apache Server at www.gutenberg.org Port 80 My Activity is a much more convenient way of downloading books than a web browser. For one thing, it gives the downloaded file a more intelligent name than 119.zip. I would like for it to work again as it did before. Suggestions? James Simmons
