It’s the server, they are rejecting your request, probably because it looks like a robot accessing the page. If you do:

```julia
HTTP.get(url;headers=Dict("User-Agent" => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.132 Safari/537.36"))

```

The page fetches correctly. HOWEVER the site appears to be a JavaScript application, not standard HTML. My guess most of the site is embedded in the /smlrdstl.js script…

Thanks, it works, but script…  
Is any cure for this

```julia
julia> url="https://www.styl.pl"
"https://www.styl.pl"

julia> HTTP.get(url;headers=Dict("User-Agent" => "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (

ERROR: IOError(MbedTLS error code -9984: X509 - Certificate verification failed, e.g. CRL, CA or signature check

Two options, either you install their certificate, ugh. Or you configure HTTP to not verify the certificate. I would try this:

> [@Possible to bypass cert verification in Requests.jl or HTTP.jl?](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/possible-to-bypass-cert-verification-in-requests-jl-or-http-jl/5032/2):
>
> It’s an MbedTLS.jl option, so should work with either Requests or HTTP. With HTTP.jl, you’d do something like using HTTP, MbedTLS client = HTTP.Client(tlsconfig=MbedTLS.SSLConfig(false)) HTTP.get(client, url; options...)
