Tracing the code a more accurate request for testing is:

```bash
curl http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1491510803 -v -o deleteme -H "User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; CPU iPhone OS
 5_0_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/534.46 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/5.1 Mobile/9A405 Safari/7534.48.3"

```

Note the:

- manipulated URL
- from: `http://www.amazon.com/The-Advantage-Organizational-Everything-Business/dp/1491510803`
- to: `http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/1491510803`
- Specific mobile User Agent.

I’ve now tested on latest:

- whilst the test `curl` request above returns `200 OK`
- I still see a `404 (Not Found)` error in Chrome Dev Tools for `/onebox?url=...`
- I have not seen a `503 (Service Unavailable)` error
- This Discourse instance is on DigitialOcean (LON1)
