Cloudfare problem
Hi everyone.
I have a plugin called Skoob Sync. It uses webscraping to sync the user info. Now, the site started using Cloudfare when you try to login, giving me a 'HTTP Error 403: Forbidden'. The metadata plugin (Skoob Books) is not affected as it does not need to login. I know this is not a calibre question, but since many of the plugin developers use webscraping, I thought that I might get some help here. Is there any way to bypass the Cloudfare check? This is the relevant code for login: Spoiler:

I'll offer a few pointers, but I haven't researched it recently.
Cloudfare has more than one level of blocking it can be running at for a given site. Some lower levels can be bypassed with cloudscraper. FlareSolverr is a proxy that runs a headless browser to handle requests. As I understand it, this uses it's own proxy API, not a standard one. Also, this proxy works for web pages, but not images or binaries. I don't believe it works for the highest "under attack" levels of Cloudfare. FanFicFare has code that can use either of these, as well as code that can read cached pages out of your regular browser's cache directory. This is a pain, because you have to load the page in your browser first to cache it--and not all pages are cached. The actual cache reading code isn't mine and I don't pretend to understand it more than superficially. |
