Strange HTTP Issue

I was recently contacted by someone who couldn't get my app store program working on their computer.

After some investigating, it appears that issue actually seems to be that ComputerCraft doesn't want to connect to my domain at all.



Before you ask, no, it's not an emulator, although the same behaviour occurs when using Java based emulators (but it works with emulators which aren't based on the CC jar).

The app store is on a different host (GoDaddy while my main site is Heroku) and uses an entire different language than my main site (PHP while the main site is Python), so I highly doubt it's any built-in protection system or something disabling these type of connections.

My domain does use CloudFlare. However, I have tried setting it to developer mode and security level to "Essentially Off" but nothing changed.

I'm not overly concerned about the issue to be entirely honest, I have no intentions of supporting the app store any further, nor can I see myself releasing in CC based programs anytime soon. Never the less, I'm interested to know if anyone might know why and how to fix it.

Heh, it'd have to be a pretty good emulator to generate a screenshot quite like that.

Quick shot in the dark guess with no testing at all: CloudFlare may not like CC's presented user agent. In terms of "security settings" I doubt "essentially off" is good enough to evade Murphy's law.
