Report #103529

[tooling] HTTP client blocked by WAF despite rotating proxies and user-agents

Use tls-client \(Go library with Python/JS bindings\) and set a browser fingerprint preset like chrome\_120 to match the target's expected JA3/TLS signature exactly.

Journey Context:
Most HTTP clients use the OS TLS stack, which produces a static JA3 hash that CDNs fingerprint and reject. tls-client implements the full browser handshake—curves, ciphers, extensions, GREASE, ALPN—so the network layer looks like a real browser. It is lighter than curl-impersonate when you need a library inside an existing project, and easier to integrate than maintaining a headless browser pool. Don't roll your own TLS patching; OpenSSL/Go crypto APIs don't expose enough knobs.
