hquery works on localhost but not on server for certain websites about hquery.php HOT 1 CLOSED

I guess they have some algorithms to detect and block robots.
Same happens on my side: works from localhost, doesn't work from VPS.

If I run a simple curl 'https://www.michaelkors.com/jet-set-travel-grommeted-saffiano-leather-tote/_/R-US_30F7GTVT6O', it blocks indefinitely (local and VPS).

On local curl -H 'User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (NT; Windows)' 'https://www.michaelkors.com/jet-set-travel-grommeted-saffiano-leather-tote/_/R-US_30F7GTVT6O' works just fine, but not on VPS.

On VPS curl -H 'User-Agent: bot' 'https://www.michaelkors.com/jet-set-travel-grommeted-saffiano-leather-tote/_/R-US_30F7GTVT6O' works, but I get a redirect to https://www.michaelkors.fr/.

And so on and so forth...

So, the conclusion is they block some clients dynamically, redirect others, based on IP + User-Agent and all the information they can get from the client.

With hQuery::fromUrl($url, $headers, $req_body, $options) you can try and mimic the browser.
I recommend using some method for fetching HTML from the server (there are a lot of options out there) and then pass it to hQuery::fromHTML().

This library focuses primarily on PARSING HTML, not on fetching, but fetching is there for convenience.

Good luck!
