            Bug ID: 4170
           Summary: Problem accessing RSS feeds for sites using Cloudflare
                    with TOR proxy
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: Claws Mail
           Version: GIT
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: Plugins/RSSyl
          Assignee: users at lists.claws-mail.org
          Reporter: removed-gdpr at example.com

version 3.17.3git134

STR:

1. Use Internet through TOR proxy
2. Run Claws Mail with

export http_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 && export
https_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:9050 && claws-mail

3. Try to refresh an RSS feed for a website which uses Clouldflare (example:
https://scotthelme.co.uk/feed/)

Expected:

Just like Tor Browser is able to open the feeds, Claws Mail should also be able
to do that.

Actual:

The feeds cannot be updated through Tor and display a 403 error (possibly
hitting Cloudflare's recaptcha challenge in the background).

I am unaware what special Tor Browser may be doing but the fact is it does open
feeds which CM cannot.
