Summary0017657: Frequent HTTP 403 (forbidden) responses from bugs.scribus.net
DescriptionHello,

I've signed up for a Mantis account on bugs.scribus.net to report an issue in Scribus. However, before doing that there are two bugs with the website/bugtracker that I think I should report; this is the first of them.

It seems that approximately 50% of my web browser / HTTP requests to scribus.net encounter an HTTP 403 forbidden response. It's a basic text response without much HTML/theming, and the text content is:

> Forbidden
>
> You don't have permission to access this resource.

I'm able to replicate this while browsing both the scribus.net website and also the bugs.scribus.net subdomain.

This makes it difficult to browse the Scribus website and to use the bugtracker.
Steps To ReproduceVisit a page on the scribus.net domain, for example:

- https://www.scribus.net/datenschutzerklaerung/
- https://www.scribus.net/scribus-1-4-7-and-1-5-4-released/
- https://bugs.scribus.net/view_all_bug_page.php
TagsNo tags attached.

I managed to get the error for the "release" link above, but not for the bug tracker or the privacy policy.

And even that page sometimes work.
