Last I checked, cloudflare requires the user to have JavaScript and cookies enabled. My institution doesn’t want to require those because it would likely impact legitimate users as well as bots.
Huh? I can reach my site via curl that has neither. How did you come up with this random set of requirements?
Odd. I just tried
and got
Enable JavaScript and cookies to continue
I’m clearly not on the same setup as you are, but my off-the-cuff guess is that your curl command was issued from a system that cloudflare already recognized (IP whitelist, cookies, I dunno).
Anyways, I’m reading through this blog post on using cURL with cloudflare-protected sites and I’m finding it interesting.
Of course their challenge requires those things. How else could they implement it? Most users will never be presented with a challenge though and it is trivial to disable if you don’t want to ever challenge anyone. I was just saying CF blocks ML crawlers.
