I've been seeing "strange things" for 2-3 weeks now. Maybe coincidental, but seems to be related to something called "CloudFlare" --- is that a virus of some sort?
Anyway - I had been using 'curl' to track RonR's 'image-utils' post for changes - did this once per day, looking for a change in the download URL. But, starting about 2-3 weeks ago, this began to fail. Looking at the downloaded file, there was what seemed to be a message from this "CloudFlare" stating that I (my IP address??) had been permanently blocked?! Are there prohibitions against using 'curl' on a forum page - is this documented anywhere?? If so, I apologize for any disruption, but it gets very boring having to visit the page every day or two to check on updates.
