User Agent for Android App Not Working?

[Antkmk]

I have an app, developed using Solar2d, that includes a weather feature. The iOS version of the app works, the Android version returns an "Access Denied" 403 error.
I've seen that a User-Agent is required. I wasn't explicitly providing one. I now am by sending ["User-Agent"] = "ADK46erNow/v2.6.0 (http://onebadant.com; [email protected])"

That's the name and version of the app and the website and email address.

The URL I'm calling is:
"https://graphical.weather.gov/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdSOAPclientByDay.php?whichClient=NDFDgenByDay&lat=44.11&lon=-73.923725&format=24+hourly&startDate=2022-06-04&numDays=3&Unit=e&Submit=Submit"

I've been working with Solar2d on this issue, but the Solar2d forums and main developer haven't been able to tell me why this doesn't work. Can you see anything immediately wrong with what I'm doing? I can provide more detail if you need it.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide. ~Keith

The 403 message should have a reference id. If you can provide I will look up the exact issue.

At the time of that request, you weren't setting the custom user agent correctly, and the request was getting grouped into a larger rule that blocked the request.

This forum is for api.weather.gov, and not digital.weather.gov, which is developed by MDL. Glad I could help investigate this cause, but they would better serve your support concerns.

[Antkmk]

Thank you for your help. Is there any way you can show me what the user-agent of the request was? I know what I sent - listed above in my first message, but I'm wondering if Solar2d is changing or ignoring my setting. Thank you again! ~Keith
P.S. Also, I'm a little confused, so there's api.weather.gov, digital.weather.gov, and I'm calling graphical.weather.gov! :)

[scadergit]

It's reverting back to the default Android user agent.

Thank you! I'll pass this on to Solar2d. Sounds like they are ignoring my settings when I make the call! ~Keith
