[seqfan] Re: Two troubles at OEIS

[Georg.Fischer]

To me, it looks not like a mirror (with all
internal OEIS code copied), but like a frame around
the OEIS. It seems to call the real OEIS inside the
frame. If you place a different URL behind, that
is also called (try <https://gir.im/http://www.google.com>
or <https://gir.im/https://www.telekom.de>).

My first idea would be that the administrators block any
requests from gir.im in the Apache Web Server configuration
of the OEIS.
