FYI, I am new with PowerShell so don’t know much.

readcomiconline.to

kissmanga.com

These websites supposedly are behind “Cloudfare”

From here

Because readcomiconline.to is behind CloudFlare, there’s a limit to visit the site. If you’re downloading a series with a lot of Issues or chapters, the script will halt mid-way, because cloudflare needs a ‘Human Check’

FYI, this github script(application?) has been written in python. I am making a version in POSH for kissmanga, and both of these websites are managed by the same owner/organization, so I assume they function more or less the same.

consider $url = “http://kissmanga.com/manga/fujimura-kun-meitsu“

Whenever I try to get the webpage content/source using,

DownloadString() Method

 $web = New-Object Net.WebClient $source = $web.DownloadString($url) 

Error:

 Exception calling "DownloadString" with "1" argument(s): "The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable." At line:4 char:2 + $source = $web.DownloadString($url) + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebException 

or using Invoke-Webrequest

 $page = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$url" -UseBasicParsing 

Error:

$page = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$url" -UseBasicParsing Invoke-WebRequest : The remote server returned an error: (503) Server Unavailable. At line:1 char:9 + $page = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "$url" -UseBasicParsing + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-WebRequest], WebException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeWebRequestCommand 

I get a 503 server error in both cases.

But, when I visit the $url by using my browser, its gives me a

Wait for 5 seconds… and then loads

Is there anything I can do to access the webpage?
