CAPTCHA prompt seems to prevent any content from downloading #3

Open LexCybermac opened 4 years ago

LexCybermac commented 4 years ago

When attempting to run this script no content is downloaded, when looking at the script output in the console the body section appears to contain the markup for a CAPTCHA page leading me to believe that this is the root of the issue.

Example:

`<!DOCTYPE html>\n

\n \n \n 
        <html class="no-js" lang="en-US">
            <!--
            <![endif]-->\n

Hey, thanks for reporting. I noticed the same behaviour myself, and right now I am thinking about what to do about it.

The way I see it, the options are:

Frankly I don't know when I'll have time to work on it but it's on my TODO list.

lavovaLampa commented 4 years ago

Hey, this should be resolved now (many thanks to developers of cloudscraper)

LexCybermac commented 4 years ago

Issue appears to be persisting in some capacity, just tried the script now and got countless printouts of variations of the following:

It never happened to me, but according to the cloudscraper bug tracker (bug report) some people experience same issue. Right now, I don't think there is an easy & fast way to circumvent it. Maybe you can try to renew your IP address, or I can try to add more timeout/define an timeout option.

LexCybermac commented 4 years ago

No luck changing IP I'm afraid, tried connecting to various VPN servers as well as without and the issue persisted consistently.

NourDT commented 4 years ago

Same thing here, except i am constantly getting the error from the start. I tried to edit the config object passed to cloudscraper but that didn't help:

public getFile(identifier: FileUrlQS): RequestPromise<TypedResponse<any>> { const requestOptions: OptionsWithUrl = { ...this.requestBase, json: false, qs: identifier, url: "/file", agentOptions:{ciphers: 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256'}, proxy: 'https://195.182.22.178', port: 53281 } return cloudscraper(requestOptions) }

I'm having the same issue from the start too. Please contact me, I'm willing to pay a few beers for this ;)

lavovaLampa commented 3 years ago

Sorry for a long hiatus. I am aware of these problems, but currently I am unable to do anything about them.

I am using a 3rd party cloudflare scraping library, and thus depend on the authors to fix the code according to the changes the Cloudflare periodically pushes. I would like to update the library that is used, but I simply lack time to dive into the Cloudflare anti-bot implementation.
