I published my subtitles downloader in Emacs Lisp yesterday at https://github.com/redguardtoo/shenshou

It worked yesterday, but does not work today when calling xml rpc login api.

The api call is just a cli `curl -b --insecure https://api.opensubtitles.org:443/xml-rpc -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><methodCall><methodName>LogIn</methodName><params><param><value><string>redguardtoo</string></value></param><param><value><string>mypassword</string></value></param><param><value><string>en</string></value></param><param><value><string>shenshou</string></value></param></params></methodCall>"`

And the output is a html file as the screenshot.

I'm always using tor socks5 proxy. I restarted tor several times but always failed.

it seems screenshot didnt go through, anyway I tried

Code: Select all

curl -b --insecure https://api.opensubtitles.org:443/xml-rpc -H "Content-Type: text/xml" -d "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><methodCall><methodName>LogIn</methodName><params><param><value><string>redguardtoo</string></value></param><param><value><string>mypassword</string></value></param><param><value><string>en</string></value></param><param><value><string>shenshou</string></value></param></params></methodCall>"

and this returns proper (unauthorised) answer. Probably problem with your socks ?

Why do I have to complete a CAPTCHA?

Completing the CAPTCHA proves you are a human and gives you temporary access to the web property.
What can I do to prevent this in the future?

If you are on a personal connection, like at home, you can run an anti-virus scan on your device to make sure it is not infected with malware.

If you are at an office or shared network, you can ask the network administrator to run a scan across the network looking for misconfigured or infected devices.

Another way to prevent getting this page in the future is to use Privacy Pass. You may need to download version 2.0 now from the Firefox Add-ons Store.

It outputs html whose content is as I showed in previous post. I'm behind tor proxy.

Hi,
I test again a few minutes ago and get same error. Looks I need tech support from opensubtitles team. See https://blog.coingecko.com/how-to-troub ... ng-ray-id/
