Describe the bug
mlc reports an error on a link that works in other link checkers and via the browser.

To Reproduce

  1. On my project the README.md https://github.com/andrewdavidmackenzie/pigg/blob/master/README.md
  2. mlc
  3. Error reported
The following links could not be resolved:

./README.md (4, 1) => https://repology.org/project/pigg-x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu/versions

Expected behavior
mlc passes without error.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: macos 15.4 Apple Silicon
  • Browser: brave (chrome)
  • Version: mlc v0.21.0

Additional context
I run other link checkers in GH Actions and they pass. I wanted one to run locally in make, and mlc seemed good, but it's failing.

I tried throttling but same result.

Hm... Interesing. When I try to reach the link with curl I do get a 403 forbidden:

curl https://repology.org/project/pigg-x86-64-unknown-linux-gnu/versions
<html>
<head><title>403 Forbidden</title></head>
<body>
<center><h1>403 Forbidden</h1></center>
<hr><center>nginx</center>
</body>
</html>

What other link checkers work with this link?

Before, I was using:

tcort/github-action-markdown-link-check@v1

I imagine it's related to the User Agent sent in the request (maybe this site tries to avoid crawlers or something?).
