Okay, if your use this

set user-agent=googlebot

in your config file , it will get you going. Means you can get the qr code on the screen.

Heads up!! some specific sites misbehave , if you change the user-agent , I haven't found solution to that breakage.

@lucasmsoares96 Changing the user-agent solves the issue. So I close this because there is nothing else we can to in case stupid pages rely on evaluation the user agent string. It's strange, but I see the QR Code also with default user agent after I called the page initially with googlebot.
