Thanks for the help; yes, adding a User-Agent seemed to do the trick. I
have, however, come up with another somewhat related question. Looking
at the source to the Main Page, I see the metadata referenced in the
following line:
<link title="Creative Commons" type="application/rdf+xml"
href="/w/wiki.phtml?title=Main_Page&action=creativecommons"
rel="meta" />
However, when I attempt to retrieve the URL specified by href, I just
get the main page again. However, if I replace "&" with a simple &
(before action=...), I get the RDF. Is this by design for some reason,
or a bug? Thanks.

Neat!
We have intial support
working, but when we test with Wikipedia, we get
a 403: Forbidden.
We do block some specific user-agent strings due to past robot abuse;
be sure you're using a user-agent string that identifies your software
rather than a generic one.
