RSS Reader (403) forbidden message

[Jaggy]

The last few days I have started having a problem getting one of my regular feeds, I noticed in the logs it has
"The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden." & yet if I copy & paste the feed direct from my feeds.xml into the address for FireFox the page displays fine??

This is the feed I'm having problems with

Code:

<feed>
      <title>Stuff (NZ) Editors Picks</title>
      <url>http://www.stuff.co.nz/rss/editors-picks</url>
      <type>Text</type>
    </feed>

The site requires a nonempty user-agent request header which is empty by default in .net.
Try this fix.

A huge thanks for that, it is now working great again for all my feeds

I did finally get motivated to do (which I have been meaning to do for ages) an updated default skin for RSS Reader that you can include it in the next update on the wiki if you want.
