[Python-Dev] code.python.org - random 403 errors

[Sridhar Ratnakumar]

I am seeing random 403 errors when cloning the mercurial repositories of Python.

$ hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/branches/release2.6-maint
destination directory: release2.6-maint
requesting all changes
abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden
$ hg clone http://code.python.org/hg/branches/release2.6-maint/
destination directory: release2.6-maint
requesting all changes
abort: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

Sometimes they work, sometimes not.

Should I report this issue to a specific tracker (other than bugs.python.org and webmaster at python.org)?
