Hello @hATrayflood 

CloudFront is likely/maybe/probably rejecting the request because a default .NET query lacks a User-Agent header and looks like bot traffic.

Try add a User-Agent header to your code. Also Migrate from legacy HttpWebRequest to HttpClient and ensure you aren't hardcoding old TLS.

If the 403 persists, then involve Atlassian Support with the CloudFront Request ID.

Backend failures are often beyond Community Users. We can point to something, but only Atlassian can see exactly what is happening behind the scenes.

Best,

Arkadiusz🤠☀️

thanks. it works !!

var request = WebRequest.CreateHttp("https://kancollesniffer.bitbucket.io/versions.txt");
request.UserAgent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:152.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/152.0";
var response = request.GetResponse();
Console.WriteLine(new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream()).ReadToEnd());
