Issue when downloading from Internet Archive OPDS - Page 2

When it dumps the requests headers

.

(Which is probably done via logger.dbg, so that'd be tricky to filter without using something custom).

Here's another attempt at downloading the same .epub, but without using the auth.

The result, unfortunately, doesn't change.

Which leads me to another question: Why the auth? Is this publicly accessible?

It throws a 403, which makes sense given that it's copyrighted work. I have no idea how this thing works, but I'm guessing it offers *everything* in their catalog, including stuff only actually available via lending or purchases or... something.

(Sidebar: I *am* seeing the failure popup, though).
