Subject: [PATCH] Fix NEW (New Forest): add http_lib=playwright to bypass wreq
 timeout
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

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.
