Any ideas why this is returning Forbidden at the end? Thanks!!!

Interesting. Decided to start from scratch on a different computer and got the same message at a different point, a bit farther along. Note: I reset everything and ran it again and it stopped at the same point. If I run again without resetting anything, it goes straight to forbidden message.

The reason for this status code is an unsuccesfull login. It appears that the login process becam much more complex overtime (actually it's hard to believe it was ever simple enough for that simple POST login code to work).

If anyone looking into fixing this: A first step would be to update the POST names of username and password as well as building an implementation for the authenticity_token (a dynamix token that needs to be read out of the form and sent with the request).

I'm guessing the anti-csrf token they use is going to make this quite challenging

Any update on this bug? is it working correctly for you? I just get this output

go run main.go
Forbidden
exit status 1

[Domi-cc]

same here on linux :(

The first run grabbed 1771 titles, but exited with the error. Subsequent runs don't grab anything. Changing password did not help.
