Hey @julian, can you help me with a quick debugging session?

Why would ` curl 'https://forum.wedistribute.org/category/5/fediverse' -H 'Accept: application/activity+json, application/ld+json'
`

return the expected JSON LD representing the actor, but the exact equivalent request fail with node.js?

@raphael@mastodon.communick.com hmm interesting, can you share the code that's making the call?

Usually if it's working with curl it'll work with Node, so this suggests there's something different with the way the call is made with node.

For what it's worth, internally, NodeBB uses the built-in fetch method from Node.js.

typescript code

```
const REQUEST_OPTIONS = {
redirect: 'follow' as RequestRedirect,
headers: { 'Accept': 'application/activitypub+json, application/ld+json' },
'User-Agent': 'curl/8.12.1'
}

const response = await fetch('https://forum.wedistribute.org/category/5/fediverse', REQUEST_OPTIONS)

try {
return await response.json()
}
catch(exc) {
console.log(response.url)
console.log(response.headers)

throw exc
}
```

It fails if I just use "/category/5" url (without the fediverse at the end), it fails if go straight to the redirected url (with "/fediverse?lang=en-US").

It also fails if I use the curl User-Agent, or if I don't use any user agent at all.

Nevermind! Typo in the header...
