See HTTP 403 - Wikipedia[^].

AbcPdf is not a web browser. It might not work as such regarding redirections which are used by the Yahoo URL from your example. If you type that URL in your browser, you will notice that there is a redirection (in my case to "https://de.yahoo.com/?p=us").

You can try to use that HTTPS URL (or those used with your browser). If that works depends on AbcPdf supporting secure connections.

You can also try to use the URL without trailing slash ("http://www.yahoo.com") because that requests a directory listing which is usually forbidden (see the third paragraph of the Wikipedia link).

Because it looks like you used the Yahoo URL for testing, I suggest to use another URL.
