[gdal-dev] /vsicurl, curl and wget

Greetings!

I'm having issues with a remote file. The following do not work:

gdal vsi copy 
https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/openfema/cl2024_v1.gdb.zip .
gdal vector info 
/vsizip/vsicurl/https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/openfema/cl2024_v1.gdb.zip
curl 
https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/openfema/cl2024_v1.gdb.zip 
-o stf.gdb.zip

All result in a 403, since they're dependent on curl.

However, the following 'wget' works fine:

wget https://www.fema.gov/about/reports-and-data/openfema/cl2024_v1.gdb.zip

Has anyone encountered this before? What am I missing?

Thanks!
Scott
