Hi All,

curl-8.9.1-4.fc41.x86_64

How come Firefox can see this page, but curl can not?


First attempt:

$ curl -L https://icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop -o eraseme.html

Current

Second attempt (that is Brave Browser user agent.
Firefox's did not work either):

$ curl -L --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64)
AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/141.0.0.0 Safari/537.36"
https://icedrive.net/apps/desktop-laptop/ -o eraseme.html

Yours in confusion,
