democracy.newforest.gov.uk times out from Lambda with wreq's Firefox TLS fingerprint — the server's WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake. Playwright uses Chromium's standard Chrome TLS fingerprint, which passes the WAF.

Re-scrape after e593c8cAdded Cannot run locally (DNS resolution for external hosts blocked in build environment). The wreq timeout is consistent with WAF-level TLS fingerprint filtering — the same pattern seen on EPS, NYE, LBH, DAC, all of which were fixed with

What broke
New Forest's ModGov endpoint (
democracy.newforest.gov.uk) times out from Lambda with wreq's Firefox TLS fingerprint. The server's WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake — the pattern is identical to recently-fixed scrapers (EPS, NYE, LBH, DAC) where the WAF selectively blocks wreq's Firefox133 client hello while accepting standard browser TLS fingerprints.What was fixed
councillors.py: addedhttp_lib = "playwright"— Playwright uses Chromium's standard Chrome TLS fingerprint, which passes the WAF. Noverify_requestsflag is needed since the server's certificate is valid.Scrape results
Cannot run locally due to DNS resolution restrictions in the build environment. Counts will be confirmed once the Lambda scraper runs with Playwright.
