#openstreetmap started blocking the mapping app I am using on my Nokia #N900 :(

"user-agent": "CloudGPS for N900"

I realize there's maybe 5 of us so no one's going to notice the suck we suffer :P

I wrote a proxy to lie about user agent. Annoying.

But free, public, mutual #Web is dying. How are kids going to learn if they have to jump through advanced hoops to access anything? Where will the new generation come from?

Maybe we should create an overlay network for nerds only.

RETRACTION: #openstreetmap IS NOT blocking my favorite client.
But I DID jump to conclusions.

I'll try to be more thorough before complaining, even though I'm failing in recent cases.

@dcz what was the issue? TLS versions?

@grischard I didn't debug that far. The OS was released in 2009, so it's either that or the root certificate validity.
It's effectively source-available because I can't be bothered to recompile the software to debug it and the OS is so old I couldn't install dev tools.
