Hi there, I'm trying to access Sydney airport json data at: [http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60801/IDN60801.94767.json](http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60801/IDN60801.94767.json) When I navigate there in chrome, it works fine and I get a page full of JSON data. When I access it from the node-red standard html request node (using GET method and returning parsed JSON), a I get this response: ```auto Access Denied

Access Denied

You don't have permission to access "http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60801/IDN60801.94767.json" on this server.

Reference #18.15052017.1586177669.37d153b7 ``` Any ideas? ---

The page expects a user-agent header. Try it like this: ```auto [{"id":"3e7da731.d3de9","type":"inject","z":"bd9167ef.aa93c8","name":"","topic":"","payload":"","payloadType":"date","repeat":"","crontab":"","once":false,"onceDelay":0.1,"x":276,"y":408,"wires":[["621552b0.4a6e9c"]]},{"id":"2eee3e90.ae1dda","type":"http request","z":"bd9167ef.aa93c8","name":"","method":"GET","ret":"obj","paytoqs":false,"url":"http://www.bom.gov.au/fwo/IDN60801/IDN60801.94767.json","tls":"","persist":false,"proxy":"","authType":"","x":574,"y":408,"wires":[["1d82389c.0ee617"]]},{"id":"1d82389c.0ee617","type":"debug","z":"bd9167ef.aa93c8","name":"","active":true,"tosidebar":true,"console":false,"tostatus":false,"complete":"false","x":742,"y":408,"wires":[]},{"id":"621552b0.4a6e9c","type":"function","z":"bd9167ef.aa93c8","name":"","func":"msg.headers = {};\nmsg.headers['User-Agent'] = 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_3) AppleWebKit/605.1.15 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/13.0.5 Safari/605.1.15';\nreturn msg;\n\n\n","outputs":1,"noerr":0,"x":410,"y":408,"wires":[["2eee3e90.ae1dda"]]}] ``` ---
