How to send raw post?

[holden321]

I am trying to set header 'content-type: application/json' and post not encoded data in the request body;
So that it looks like this:

But FlareSolverr encode data (in param postData) and set header "content-type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded".

Is it possible to say FlareSolverr not to encode body and not to set header content-type?

This feature is not supported and it can't be implemented because it's not supported by Puppeteer for Firefox. Related #266

You can write your own script to:

• Make a regular GET request with FlareSolverr and save the Cookies and User-Agent returned.
• Make a POST request without using FlareSolverr. You can use cURL, Python or any language but make sure you are setting the User-Agent and Cookie headers properly.

@ngosang
I used the method that you suggested, but I encountered the browser check by Cloudflare.
So then, I ironically had to utilize Puppeteer directly to make the POST request work.
Perhaps something can be worked out to make this easier.

You are doing something wrong. If you use the Cookies and the User-Agent provided by FlareSolverr it will work. There are several software out there using that method.

I'm trying to follow your recommendation, about adding headers, using Python but It's not working. I'm getting a 403 with the "Checking if the site connection is secure... needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding" page.

data = {
 'cmd': 'request.get',
 'url': url,
 'session': 'sessid'
}
d = json.dumps(data)

r = requests.post('http://flaresolverr:8191/v1', data=d, headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})
js = r.json()

res = js.get('solution')

soup_download = BeautifulSoup(res.get('response'), 'lxml')
bs_url = soup_download.find(class_='downIt').get('href')

cookies = res.get('cookies')
userAgent = res.get('userAgent')

cookie = ''
for cook in cookies:
 cookie = cookie + cook['name'] + '=' + cook['value'] + ';'

headers = {
 'cookie': cookie,
 'user-agent': userAgent,
 'referer': 'https://referer.com/'
}

r = requests.post(bs_url, headers=headers)

print(r.status_code) # 403
print(r.text) # "Checking if the site connection is secure" page

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? I'm currently using version 2.2.10
