My application's access to nominatim.openstreetmap.org is blocked: forbidden
My original goal is it, to get nominatim access from a windows application, where users can search for places etc. We are doing this since many years quite well with other providers (with google, bing, mapquest etc.) and i wanted to add nominatim as well. This is a c++ application on windows using boost::asio for https / https access. https works well for all other services.
If I, instead, use [wget, I get a "Unable to establish SSL connection." error](https://help.openstreetmap.org/questions/66940/wget-to-nominatim-url-unable-to-establish-ssl-connection) (other question entry).
I did further inspections on access from my application. Indeed i get a "blocked" result:

Why is this the case? I did not attempt any bulk requests. In total maybe some 10.
Do i need a additional header field to my request?
