Accessing URL from travis windows/linux yields 403 permission denied

Environments
1

I started to move my windows builds from Appveyor to travis and I can’t get the unit tests I run to work. At the same time I started to build my project also for linux with the same issue that loading a resource from a specific URL always yields a 403 permission denied.
I run these tests for month on travis osx machines and Appveyor.

An example URL is:
https://download.unity3d.com/download_unity/6d84dfc57ccf/unity-2017.4.9f1-win.ini

If I curl the file in the build script it works most of the times. But not when I call it from my project.
I have no issues to execute these tests or the tool in question from any other machine I can test with.

here a failing curl output:

Is it possible that they are blocking our IP addresses?

Sometimes some calls get through in the same test run. I am really lost.
