Android http request blocked by incapsula

Question

In my app i have been using DefaultHttpClient to send HttpRequest with a user agent (to get full site) to a news website. It seems recently the website started using Incapsula, and i get this now:

<iframe src="/_Incapsula_Resource?CWUDNSAI=9_1008B529&incident_id=48000040010778737-143658980947787847&edet=12&cinfo=5688c053c753829330000000" frameborder=0 width="100%" height="100%" marginheight="0px" marginwidth="0px">Request unsuccessful. Incapsula incident ID: 48000040010778737-143658980947787847</iframe></html>

Any hints ? Can i bypass incapusla ?

Thanks a lot

I work for Incapsula and I think I can help out.

Incapsula security platform offers various customization options. As a result, each of our clients can harden the default settings, modify existing security rules and add additional filtering policies.

I can't say if you've been blocked by our default or by site-specific settings. One way or another, you can always reach out the site's operator who can whitelist you with a click of a button.
