meetings.westoxon.gov.uk serves valid ModGov XML to standard HTTP clients (curl returns HTTP 200 in ~2.7s) but wreq's Firefox133 TLS fingerprint times out from Lambda. The server's WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake, consistent with the same pattern fixed on DAC, LBH, NYE, EPS, NWM, and NEW. Playwright's Chromium TLS fingerprint passes the WAF.

What broke
West Oxfordshire's ModGov endpoint (
meetings.westoxon.gov.uk) serves valid councillor XML to standard HTTP clients — curl returns HTTP 200 in ~2.7 seconds — but wreq's Firefox133 TLS fingerprint times out from Lambda. The server's WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake before sending any response. This is the same pattern previously fixed on DAC, LBH, NYE, EPS, NWM, and NEW.What was fixed
councillors.py: addedhttp_lib = "playwright"— Playwright uses Chromium's standard Chrome TLS fingerprint, which passes the WAF. The server certificate is valid so noverify_requestsflag is needed.Scrape results
The HTTPS endpoint is confirmed live and returning valid ModGov XML from a non-Lambda IP. Counts will be confirmed once the Lambda scraper runs with Playwright.
