Hi,

UA could be something unique similar to “Cygwin mirror/0.01” and I can whitelist then, but having “python-urlli will definitely trigger the WAF.

While I can completely disable the check without issues, if you want to carry a specific UA feel free to do it and I will then white list based on UA.

Let me know when you are ready.
