[OWSLib-users] csw getrecords2 : request rejected

It looks very much like the request was blocked by the server you are querying.

I've had similar messages when querying French government web sites

Subject: [OWSLib-users] csw getrecords2 : request rejected

Hi all,

I'm trying to get the records from this csw : http://www.data.eaufrance.fr:/geosource/srv/eng/csw?
Getting one record with getrecordbyid works ok, but my request is rejected when I use getrecords2 or getrecords.

Here's a snippet of code for Python2.7 :
from owslib.csw import CatalogueServiceWeb url = 'http://www.data.eaufrance.fr:/geosource/srv/eng/csw?'
csw = CatalogueServiceWeb(url)
csw.getrecords2()

And here's the error I get :
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 376, in getrecords2
    self._invoke()
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/owslib/csw.py", line 676, in _invoke
    self._exml = etree.parse(BytesIO(self.response))
  File "src/lxml/lxml.etree.pyx", line 3427, in lxml.etree.parse (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:85131)

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Opening and ending tag mismatch: br line 1 and body, line 1, column 242

If I then try :
csw.response

I get :
"<html><head><title>Request Rejected</title></head><body>The requested URL was rejected. Please consult with your administrator.<br><br>Your support ID is: 16327421591402261030<br><br><a href='javascript:history.back();'>[Go Back]</a></body></html>"

getrecordbyid works fine.

Do you know if this issue is related to the server I'm querying, or if this is a bug ? Do you have any idea which direction I should try looking into ?

Thanks a lot,

Julie.
