403 error with WevToEpub while logged in. It seems that they are still changing their site or maybe they have added protection?

• request the cookie response to accept the request?
• domain of origin?
• age... ?

I'm not sure what they've done to their site.Trying to go to https://kakao.com/ takes me to https://www.kakaocorp.com/page/ and I don't know Korean.

Hello, the kakao website is at https://page.kakao.com/ The KakaoParser parser is on the site https://pagestage.kakao.com/ which worked before. Example novel: https://pagestage.kakao.com/novels/25956204

and I don't know Korean.

I don't read Korean either. I read your other posts about Kakao. I'm posting the problem in case someone else finds the solution.

Hi dteviot! Sorry for barging in in the conversation but I just want to check if there's been changes on the webtoepub as the https://pagestage.kakao.com/ site is no longer "rippable". It was definitely working before (last year I think) but now, we're getting errors like this:

Error: No chapters found. at KakaoParser.fetchWebPages (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/Parser.js:456:35) at KakaoParser.fetchContent (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/Parser.js:442:21) at HTMLButtonElement.fetchContentAndPackEpub (chrome-extension://akiljllkbielkidmammnifcnibaigelm/js/main.js:153:16)

Im not sure if this is just one of those instances where Kakao developers wisened up and tightened security or Im doing something wrong.

This is a Korean site, so I don't know what is happening. Looking at the HTTP, I suspect something has changed with the Logon/Authentication process. Anyway, I disabled that part and it seems to have worked for a couple of novels I picked at random on the front page

Test versions for Firefox and Chrome have been uploaded to https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1B_X2WcsaI_eg9yA-5bHJb8VeTZGKExl8?usp=sharing.

Tested with:

For my notes: 36 minutes work

Thank you! It works now! If you have any patreon or kofi, I'd love to chip in! I know this was extra work and I appreciate you checking out my concern. I tried looking around if you have kofi or patreon on github or on the google extention page but I cant seem to find it.

That's because I don't have one. (Reasons are complicated, but due to New Zealand copyright and Tax laws) But it's nice to be thanked. Gives me a warm feeling. If you really want, I suggest donating to the sites you like, or their authors. Failing that, Mozilla would be good.

Hello, I also tested it works for me too. THANK YOU !!!
