Some config issues?

curl -I https://www.yourmechanic.com

  HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found
  Server: nginx/1.2.2
  Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2012 05:05:23 GMT
  Content-Type: text/html
  Content-Length: 168
  Connection: keep-alive
  Vary: Accept-Encoding


  $ curl -I -A Mozilla https://www.yourmechanic.com
  HTTP/1.1 200 OK
  Server: nginx/1.2.2
  ...snip...
They're "blocking" curl for whatever reason.


Interesting.

I wonder how this is configured in nginx.

On a different note, I think it's rather odd they find the time to block user agents but do not have HSTS set.


That is broken still. I doubt they can justify UA sniffing for the homepage.
