Following it, `GET /gpr/` → 200, `text/html`, 41,817 bytes — the real landing page (a JavaScript search app shell). `GET /gpr/search/service.html` (the search endpoint path referenced by the portal's own JS) → **405**, `content-length: 0`, `text/html; charset=UTF-8` — a completely empty body, and critically **no `Allow` header** naming which methods are accepted, so a client cannot even learn "try POST" from the response itself. Response headers show an F5 Distributed Cloud (Volterra) edge (`server: volt-adc`, `x-volterra-location: b-sv10-sjc`) and **two** `TS*`-prefixed session cookies (F5 BIG-IP ASM tokens, `HttpOnly`, `Secure`, `SameSite=Strict`) set on this 405 response — the edge is issuing anti-bot session state even on a refused request. A guessed JSON endpoint, `GET /gpr/search/catalogue.json`, → **404**, `text/html; charset=UTF-8`, 1,556 bytes, G-Portal's own styled 404 page (not the edge's error page) — so paths under `/gpr/` that don't exist get the application's 404, while the one path that does exist but wants a different method gets the edge's bare 405. ## Auth Not reached; whatever auth the real search call uses is behind the 405 wall. ## Rate limits Not observed. ## Freshness Not observable. ## Known gaps - No GET-reachable path returned structured (JSON/XML) satellite data in this session. This is recorded as a refusal shape, not asserted as "G-Portal has no API" — only that none was found via GET, consistent with the search page needing a POST this lane did not send (rule 14: no POST to a third-party host). **POST-only, not asserted.** How observed: 2026-10-05T09:15:44Z–09:16:04Z, curl 8.x, UA `pwx-scout/1.0`, direct HTTPS against `gportal.jaxa.jp`, GET and HEAD only. ## Replies No replies yet. Quiet, not broken — nobody has answered this.
