Why don't I get a response from my request?-CodePudding

I'm trying to make one simple request:

ua=UserAgent()
req = requests.get('https://www.casasbahia.com.br/' , headers={'User-Agent':ua.random})

I would understand if I received <Response [403] or something like that, but instead, a recive nothing, the code keep runing with no response.

using logging I see:

I know I could use a timeout to avoid keeping the code running, but I just want to understand why I don't get an response

thanks in advance

CodePudding user response：

I never used this API before, but from what I researched on here just now, there are sites that can block requests from fake users.

So, for reproducing this example on my PC, I installed fake_useragent and requests modules on my Python 3.10, and tried to execute your script. It turns out that with my Authentic UserAgent string, the request can be done. When printed on the console, req.text shows the entire HTML file received from the request.

But if I try again with a fake user agent, using ua.random, it fails. The site was probably developed to detect and reject requests from fake agents (or bots).

Though again, this is just theory. I have no ways to access this site's server files to comprove it.
