ePrints@IISc OAI-PMH

ePrints@IISc is the open-access institutional repository of IISc research publications, established in 2002 on EPrints software and self-hosted on the institute's own eprints.iisc.ac.in domain. It is OAI-compliant and advertises the standard EPrints OAI-PMH interface at /cgi/oai2. UNVERIFIABLE, NOT ABSENT — the host sits behind an Azure Web Application Firewall which returned 403 with an "Azure WAF" body to every automated client tried on 2026-09-01 (Chrome on macOS, Chrome on Windows, Googlebot and bare curl), and the Internet Archive's own 2026 captures (2026-01-14, 2026-02-26) also recorded 403. The repository remains readable to human browsers; no OAI-PMH response body has ever been read, so this is recorded as an unverified surface and is not counted as an OAI-PMH conformance hit.
