trying to send HTTP ERROR 429 for a certain user agent

[Kate]

How can I trap a certain user agent and send a 429 response.

I have the following in my appengine_config.py and it always defaults to a 200.

(Note I do not intend to block all Windows user agent requests bit have the code "sindex = string.find(ua,'Win',0)" there for testing only).

from webob import Response

import os

class AntiCurlMiddleware(object):

    def __init__(self, app):

        self.app = app

    def __call__(self, environ, start_response):

        ua = os.environ.get('HTTP_USER_AGENT', "unknown")

sindex = string.find(ua,'Win',0)

 

if sindex > 0:

     resp = Response('Too many requests!')

     resp.status_code =429

     return resp(environ, start_response)

        else:

           return self.app(environ, start_response)

def webapp_add_wsgi_middleware(app):

    return AntiCurlMiddlewarey(app)

Did you spell this correctly:

>     return AntiCurlMiddlewarey(app)

There's an extra "y" there. Looks like the real function is named
AntiCurlMiddleware without the y.
