Connecting to remote host

[Varun Nath]

Hello,
I got some response via CURL. But getting 403 Forbidden message. Log is as
below:
* BerespStatus   403*
* BerespReason   Forbidden*
Also tried setting

*remove req.http.X-Forwarded-For;set req.http.x-forwarded-for = client.ip;*
But didnt work.
Could you please share your thoughts?
