But I see that spider in my logs and others too...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Fetch\ API\ Request [OR]
This line is not stopping Microsoft URL Control either:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft.(Data¦URL) [NC,OR]
Why is not working?
can you post the actual UA strings as they appear in your logs?
Pendanticist.
It might be working nicely. Look out for the server codes in your log files, it's always three numbers like 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, or 5xx.
If you've banned those two they will still be found in your log files, as "there is no way you can keep them from coming to your house, but you can refuse to open the door" - in this case, a shut door will look like this:
403The number of lines containing the 403 are the number of times they have been knocking without getting in ;)
/claus
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} Fetch\ API\ Request$ [NC,OR]
However,
RewriteCond %{HTTP_USER_AGENT} ^Microsoft.(DataĻURL) [NC,OR]
should work as-is.
So, I think claus is right - check the server response codes.

no, there's no need for that... just post two lines from your log file, one for each of these two: Fetch Api and Microsoft ;)
