[users@httpd] Issue : AllTheWeb, Altavista with Apache Proxy Server

[Saleem <sa...@cordys.com>]

Hi,

We have been using Apache (httpd 2.0.50) as a Proxy Server. The Proxy
handles all requests except the search queries to the AllTheWeb,
Altavista Search Engines.  Whenever I submit a query to these search
engines, it takes me to Yahoo (403!!) Forbidden Page. 

Sorry, Forbidden.
You don't have permission to access this URL on this server. 
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're
having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo!
home page <http://us.rd.yahoo.com/403/*http://www.yahoo.com>  or look
through a list of Yahoo!'s online services
<http://us.rd.yahoo.com/403/*http://docs.yahoo.com/docs/family/more/> .
Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.


And the URL that can be seen in the browser's address bar is
"http://av.rds.yahoo.com/_ylt=A9ibyJ2Xz1pEO1EB2XiBBqMX;_ylu=X3oDMTBybnZx
aHNmBHBndANhdHdfd2ViX2hvbWUEc2VjA3NlYXJjaA--/SIG=11jntcjpp/EXP=114688847
1/*-http%3A//www.alltheweb.com/search?cat=web&cs=utf8&q=sample+search&ry
s=0&itag=crv&_sb_lang=pref"

Its an indication that AllTheWeb uses Yahoo's Index.

I've also enclosed the Apache's httd.conf file for reference. 

Kindly suggest if any specifics have missed. Thanks in advance.
 <<httpd.conf>> 
Regards,
Saleem
