google search -> 403 forbidden

[Bill White <billw@wolfram.com>]

When doing a google search in the Group buffer via 'G w', I get an
error saying that the search produced no results.  After some
edebug-defun work, I found that 'G w' was building a url that google
doesn't like.

My search string was "mark shea" (with the quotes), and here's the
resulting message buffer:

In my web browser (opera 6.02 for linux) I followed the url generated
by nnweb-google-search and found google's "403 Forbidden" page.  I
then tried some simple-minded futzing with nnweb-google-search to no
avail.  Can someone else make this work?

Odd, disturbing detail: this all works fine from my linux box at home
through my dialup connection, but not on my linux box at work through
our dedicated connection.  I use cvs emacs in both places, checked out
within a day or so of each other, and I use the *same* gnus .el and
.elc files, rsync'd back & forth between the two computers.
