NSURLErrorDomain Code=403

[Chren]

When using SDWebImage to download an jpg image from web, I got error below:
NSURLErrorDomain Code=403 "The operation couldn’t be completed
this is image url:
http://img5.imgtn.bdimg.com/it/u=3017210771,879699792&fm=11&gp=0.jpg
It shows ok in browser.

because is need User-Agent

in SDWebImageDownloader.m method init replace by

- (id)init {
    if ((self = [super init])) {
        _operationClass = [SDWebImageDownloaderOperation class];
        _shouldDecompressImages = YES;
        _executionOrder = SDWebImageDownloaderFIFOExecutionOrder;
        _downloadQueue = [NSOperationQueue new];
        _downloadQueue.maxConcurrentOperationCount = 6;
        _URLCallbacks = [NSMutableDictionary new];

        NSString *userAgent = @"";

Indeed, it seems this webserver requires a User-Agent before giving access to the image.
You don't need to modify the SDWebImageDownloader code.

Before downloading the image, do:
[[SDWebImageDownloader sharedDownloader] setValue:userAgent forHTTPHeaderField:@"User-Agent"]; using an userAgent computed like in the example above.

Excuse me, the solution works very well, but is there any plan to fix it in the branch? Thanks.

Same problem with this sample url: https://static.pexels.com/photos/1475/food-vegetables-italian-restaurant-large.jpg.

Any helps?

@AndreaVitale Have you tried qingmu213's solution above?

[AndreaVitale]

Yep, I tried setting the userAgent. It was loaded only for the first, second time. After that the server always return 403.
