By the way, I switched to a new server a few weeks ago and maybe there are problems with some Android phones. My server blocks requests when there is a non standard user agent. But maybe there is an error within the server software, so real users might be blocked as well. Please let me know if so and I try to fix it as soon as possbile.

Soleru strikes again and this time brings up one of my all time favorites: Kiro!
About your specific problem: I would be very surprised if there is such a server that implements some kind of (silly) policy based on user agents strings by default. It's something so volatile and everyone can spoof it in a breeze, so why bother?
When I first reported the issue to you I was using Android default browser. It's user agent looks like any other legit user agent.
I could successfully access your website. The only thing I couldn't see was the images. Are you using multiple servers (maybe one for static content)? If not it makes it even more improbable.
Nice videos also by the way. Thanks for sharing!

No worries! You keep producing amazing work so I'll stay on-board! This post showcases new girls and the veterans (Aileen & Kiro).
I haven't sent a review of your models in a long time. I'll say that Ricci was a pleasant surprise and she looks waaay cool in sun-glasses too! Zoe is in my top five list of models. She's got some killer feet & legs and she looks amazing overall!

yes, didn't see her for a few years and 2 months ago she came back to me:)

Many bots don't use useragents and it's a way to keep them away

No, I am not using different servers. Sometimes there is a problem with the browser cache, so if people delete them, the pics are working well again

Nice to hear that. As long as there are people who enjoy my pics and clips, I will keep on going:-)

I was obviously not talking about bots that don't present user agents. I'm accessing through an Android device.
Android default web browser presents a well formed WebKit user agent so this is not the case. The user agent string holds so much information - including system specific - that it's silly for some server to implement something over this, and I doubt this is your real problem.
Let me know if you need me to do some testing with my other Android phone when you need it.

As far as I know some webbrowsers don't send accept header when requesting pics. So, you can visit a website, but it doesn't show any pics. Playstation or Standrd Android Browser. On Android it can be fixed if you install Chrome browser. Chrome sends the recommended accept header.
Just because a client does not send the Accept header it is always the server responsibility to decide if it will serve the content or not.
The Accept header may be useful, for example, in order for a server to decide if the same URL may produce distinct content depending on the header value sent by the client.
If the browser is sending the request as its initial (or "main") request, you could show some kind of gallery where you would present the image 3 in a nice frame in a fancy webpage layout, with buttons for previous, next, and whatever.
BUT, if the request is sent from an img tag, you may decide to serve the actual image.
In this example, the same URL would be used to generate your fancy gallery showing the image 3 in a nice frame with links for next and previous and it would also be used to generate the proper image inside the frame, because in this later case it would be sent from an img tag, so the request would include distinct Accept headers.
It's always up to you to decide of course, but if it was me I would never block users just because they don't send an Accept header, and I doubt that your case is the one I described above, where you produce distinct content based on the client accepted MIME types. That would be a completely different story and of course, the absence of the Accept headers would have some impact (but you could ALWAYS send the image anyway as a fallback).
This way you are just losing eventually potential costumers.

http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231 (this is the current one that specifies HTTP headers [the whole HTTP RFC has been split up into multiple documents])
They both state that: "A request without any Accept header field implies that the user agent will accept any media type in response"
So this means that your web application - or server, generally speaking - is not only malfunctioning in my own opinion, but is also actually BROKEN according to the specification.
I don't know if you are just a hobbyist or if you are actually a software developer/engineer/architect professionally speaking, but this is the kind of stuff that would take my sleep away.

Yes, you are right. The specification says that "acceppt header" SHOULD be present, but they are not required. As far as I know most browsers dend the "accept header", so I thought it might not be a problem for most of the users. I changed the server configuration and now I do not check "accept headers", so the website should work well now.
And yes, the website is only a hobby for me and my regular job is not IT related, so I am not an expert in these things:)
