Does anyone know why I can't access Bulbapedia with Opera 8.65 for S60? The other (slow) mobile browsers I have can access the wiki but when I try with Opera, I only get the following page:
Not acceptable

An appropriate representation of the requested resource / could not be found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Apache Server at bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net Port 80

This error does not occur when accessing other MediaWiki sites such as Wikipedia, so I guess the problem is in Bulbapedia.
 
Nope, it never works with it. First I opened the site on the computer and it worked fine, and then I opened it in the mobile browser which failed to open the site. And it seems that the whole Bulbagarden.net is affected, not only Bulbapedia, since I tried to access these forums today and got the same answer. :/
 
I can confirm that it works just fine on the PSP browser as well. Seems like it's mainly just the Opera mobile browser that has issues?

Yeah, the problem seems to be only on Opera. If this cannot be fixed, I have to use the slow Nokia default browser. I also have a beta version of TeaShark, which doesn't remember the cookies, and this Opera not willing to cooperate with bulbapedia.net.

Does anyone else have the mobile Opera? I think there were also Windows Mobile and UIQ versions, do they fail at it too? Very mysterious.
 
That's even weirder... What would cause this then if it works for some people (like CoolPikachu!), but fails for me? I've also tried it in different networks (at school, home and at my dad's apartment) and always the same answer.

E: The images were taken with a screenshot application available for S60, and if you wonder why the battery levels on the 3rd and 4th picture do not match, it's because of I was charging the battery (which causes the battery bar to animate through all battery levels).

By the first two error messages, it looks like you should try removing the last / from the URL. (The error says it can't find the requested resource / so, it makes me believe that might be the issue)

However, I know nothing about the Opera Browser, or much about mobile browsers. So, I'm just taking a guess.
 
I believe this is due to security rules on the server which disallow certain User-Agents. I am not able to fix this at the moment, however.
