There was a Chinese blog site I wanted to get sheet music from, but the blog host used IP to figure out I wasn't in China and just sent a page saying a translation wasn't available and redirected to the front page. I tried accept-language headers and everything but they insisted that I couldn't read the sheet music.

That's why it's always good to have several VPNs with different locations.

Presumably they didn't want to attract the attention of the international copyright police.

Did you try a Googlebot or Baidubot user-agent?
