Interpret CloudFlare challenges as a special case error #326

Open gwire opened 6 years ago

gwire commented 6 years ago

Some CloudFlare presented sites will present a 503 response with a javascript challenge before presenting the site, which makes it difficult to interpret results.

If a site is using cloudflare (or a similar proxying CDN) we should record that anyway (and probably surface this at some later point)
If a site is using cloudflare and we can detect that, we should surface that information as the result instead of the "Error" "SSL Error" or whatever.

@dantheta @gwire – Is this still a problem?
