@thecodingwizard any idea why this doesn't work? python can't fetch https://usaco.org/current/data/dec23_gold_results.html properly, but javascript fetch can?

What do you mean by "doesn't work"?

Maybe USACO's ddos protection (cloudflare) thinks we're trying to ddos them. That would be very, very annoying.

urllib.request.urlopen('https://usaco.org/current/data/dec23_gold_results.html') causes a 403 Forbidden Error, while fetch('https://usaco.org/current/data/dec23_gold_results.html') works fine. After some googling, others have had issues with urlopen and https but none of the fixes they mentioned worked...

wait it still doesn't work though 😭

oh.. what if you try a different library, like requests? https://pypi.org/project/requests/ (You are running locally, not on Github Actions, right?)

import urllib.request
req = urllib.request.Request("https://usaco.org/current/data/dec23_gold_results.html", headers={'User-Agent' : "Magic Browser"}) 
con = urllib.request.urlopen( req )
print(con.read())

Have you tried this fix from here? Seems to work locally for me.

works for me locally too, lets hope it works on gh actions 🙏 thanks for the help!

wait what, the workflow on master suddenly started working again 😭 (ah nvm it was for a diff reason)
