Jsoup and 403 error

In a project I was loading the title of a web page with the following call using the Jsoup library: String htmlTitle = Jsoup .connect(url) .timeout(5000) .get() .title(); This was returning an error 403 on some webpages. I could fix that by passing along an useragent string: String htmlTitle = Jsoup .connect(url) .timeout(5000) .userAgent("Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/45.0.2454.101 Safari/537.36") .get() .title(); I just took the actual value from my Chrome browser.
