cloudfront authorization (captcha) #1389

Open NTsvetkov opened 3 years ago

NTsvetkov commented 3 years ago

I'm having problems to read the feed on a site, using cloudfront as guarding service. Is it possible to detect it and provide a way to authorize and store authorization token?

If I open the site in the embedded browser, I can solve the captcha and to see the content, but seems feed checker doesn't use these cookies while checking for update.

https://privacypass.github.io/ see if this can be useful.

For the moment, there is no ability to add authorization token on QuiteRSS config.

For the embedded navigator, have you considered using another navigator in your QuiteRSS config ?

This could be a new improvement issue of QuiteRSS.

Regards,

I couldn't understand you about the navigator.

Example of external navigator configuration in french : navigator

Just to be sure : the feed is reachable without cloudfront or it's just article who are blocked ?

If it's the feed, it's primary a website issue and you could mail the administrator about that because it's an SEO problem for him. Could take less time than developpe this functionnality ;)

If it's article, then using an external navigator instead of embedded should address this point.

No, the problem is with adding newsfeed and later reading it.

I had it, but I delete it because it was unusable. and now I can't add the feed again. See the screenshots.

I have an account there and an open browser tab. When I want to open the site in another browser, cloudfront decides to ask for a captcha, because of their strict policy. So when i want to check this rss feed https://www.erepublik.com/en/main/news/rated/all/Bulgaria/1/rss I get an error message

If I try to open with a normal browser, it ask to solve a captcha. I want to repeat - if you have only one connection, it's fine, but if you open more connections (like me) - it will ask for captcha.
