Subject: 403 Forbidden meta tag and html page
Every thing seems to be in working order except for the google web
master tools dashbord. im new at web building so i used a web building
tool through yahoo. www.activesecuritytraining.com is my web site. so
any way i went to google and google had this web master tool thing so
i sighned up for it, and then tryed to verify my web site. i followed
the directions and added the html. it came back  was not accesable 403
forbidden. so then i tryed the meta tag and that also came back 403
forbidden. i then tryed to contact google and aparently there is no
phone number or email for help. so i then contacted yahoo and the tech
tryed all kinds of things with me and also on his own and even though
the html was added properly and sepertly the meta tag it was still
showing forbidden when i tryed to verify it. the tec went to google to
try to resalve the issue for me but was not able to. hours later the
yahoo tec and myself were not able to make it work. neather of us were
able to understand why its forbidden. We left the meta tag on the web
site and if some one could just ck it and see that its there like its
suposto be that would be great! thanks

Hi thetazzy2000,

I took a look at your site in webmaster tools and noticed that you've
been trying to verify https://www.activesecuritytraining.com which is
currently returning a 403 response. I changed this to
http://www.activesecuritytraining.com and your site verified as
expected.

Hi Johnathan,

Do you know if a site is unable to verify if it is https, or is it
just because of the 403?  I'm having trouble verifying my site.

Thanks, Gerald
