Can't download after solving CAPTCHA

[cacharle]

When I try to download something from readcomic.li, I keep getting the CAPTCHA message even after I solve it.

$ gallery-dl 'https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'
[readcomiconline][error] Redirect to
https://readcomiconline.li/Special/AreYouHuman?reUrl=%2fComic%2fFables%2fIssue-1%3fid%3d17043%26quality%3dhq
Visit this URL in your browser and solve the CAPTCHA to continue

Maybe I need to use the cookies from my browser but the message just says to solve the CAPTCHA so I'm not sure.

Okay, I dug through the issues and found #1606 to get cookies from the browser, so now I have:

$ gallery-dl --cookies-from_browser brave 'https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'
[cookies][info] Extracted 495 cookies from brave
[readcomiconline][error] HttpError: '403 Forbidden' for 'https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'

You need to use the exact same user-agent string as your browser, as well as disable the automatic browser setting used for readcomiconline:

$ gallery-dl --cookies cookies-readcomiconline-li.txt -o browser= -o user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:91.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/91.0'  'https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'
/tmp/readcomiconline/Fables/001/Fables_001_001.jpg
/tmp/readcomiconline/Fables/001/Fables_001_002.jpg^C
KeyboardInterrupt

(It doesn't matter whether you get cookies with --cookies-from_browser or --cookies. The important setting is the user-agent string.)

I now have:

$ gallery-dl --cookies-from_browser brave -o user-agent='Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36' 'http://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'
[cookies][info] Extracted 509 cookies from brave
[readcomiconline][warning] Cloudflare IUAM challenge
[readcomiconline][error] HttpError: '503 Service Temporarily Unavailable' for 'https://readcomiconline.li/Comic/Fables'

I read #2537 and #1355, but the solution seems to be the one I'm currently doing.

I tried with Brave and Firefox.

In the issues it's mentioned that maybe we just have to wait for some DDOS protection to be lifted.

You forgot -o browser=. Without that, your user-agent settings get ignored.

Won't be necessary in the next release (310fee9), but for now it still is.
