Hi there, since Monday, many of my tiny monitoring checks (analyse web pages for changes or specific content) where I used curl just fine over _years_ suddenly fail with HTTP 403 access denied. While investigating, I found out that these pages are all "protected" by Cloudfare. If I use a browser (Firefox) go to one of these webpages I see the message as in the image attached.
It basically says: "[Homepage name] must check the security of your connection" And then, at the bottom a Cloudfare reference "Ray ID" is shown as well as a Cloudfare slogan. As an example to reproduce: You can use any project page on sourceforge.net To rant a little: I don't now whats wrong with the internet these days and why such checks are required at all. I am sure they break a lot of applications like mine! (Rant off.) Now, I found many reports and "solutions" that are related to that issue (like manipulating the header sent, setting cookies etc.) but they are _all_ not working in these cases. I am sure I am not the only one and now I am searching here for answers because I believe many curl users are affected, too. Please help me! :-) Best regards, Morten.
