How to get the same request through a proxy in cURL as in a browser using proxy extensions?
I'm trying to download data from whoscored.com . These are header and cookie sensitive XHR requests with a JSON response. If something is wrong, done, then captcha instead of the answer.
If the original browser request is "copied as a cURL request" (any browser) and executed, then everything is ok.
However, if you enable the Tor proxy (through any extension of any browser), then the original browser request, "copied as a cURL request", with --proxy socks5://127.0.0.1:9050
or added --socks5 127.0.0.1:9050
, already triggers a captcha. Everything works in the browser.
Not sure what else the browser/extensions add?
