Ok, but I can't access it from many remote sites that wouldn't be banned for
any reason at all..

Agent is being reported as "GameSpyHTTP/1.0", and I've double checked that
from my php code AND the agents reported by clients requesting my clan's
server logo.

For example, I was trying this link:
http://bf2web.gamespy.com/ASP/getplayerinfo.aspx?pid=43401461&info=heal

I guess I'll start sniffing..This just seems too odd though thus far.

As far as I can see they have filtered the querystrings and allow only
those query strings which are exactly requested by Battlefield. So just
a couple of the many possible querystrings now work. For instance the
following still works, because BF2.exe uses it:
http://bf2web.gamespy.com/ASP/getplayerinfo.aspx?pid=PLAYERID&info=per*,
cmb*,twsc,cpcp,cacp,dfcp,kila,heal,rviv,rsup,rpar,tgte,dkas,dsab,cdsc,ra
nk,cmsc,kick,kill,deth,suic,ospm,klpm,klpr,dtpr,bksk,wdsk,bbrs,tcdr,ban,
dtpm,lbtl,osaa,vrk,tsql,tsqm,tlwf,mvks,vmks,mvn*,vmr*,fkit,fmap,fveh,fwe
a,wtm-,wkl-,wdt-,wac-,wkd-,vtm-,vkl-,vdt-,vkd-,vkr-,atm-,awn-,alo-,abr-,
ktm-,kkl-,kdt-,kkd-

The following used to work, but doesn't anymore, because BF2.exe doesn't
use it anywhere:
http://bf2web.gamespy.com/ASP/getplayerinfo.aspx?pid=PLAYERID

The golden rule stays: use ethereal to read the communications and
immitate those communications exactly.

And: mind the User-Agent, should be GamespyHTTP/1.0 or something like
that. And some ips, like one of mine, are banned.
