Error searching libgen #1660

Closed jcal22 closed 6 years ago

jcal22 commented 6 years ago

For the past week or so, libgen keeps getting blocked for returning 403 errors. However, if I copy the URL from LL and paste it into my browser, it returns a results page and 200. Not sure if it's blocking LL by user-agent or something, but I have not successfully searched that site in some time. Up to date with the commits.

You can change user_agent in config.ini but it's not available in the web interface user_agent = Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/52.0.2743.116 Safari/537.36 will make lazylibrarian look like a browser, but that will affect all calls, or try a libgen proxy site like gen.lib.rus.ec

Hopefully the workarounds above have fixed the issue. Development has moved to GitLab All open issues have been moved over to LazyLibrarian Issues Please open any new issues or comments on the new repo as the old one is no longer maintained, thanks
