Access Denied redirect

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 1.9.0
• Platform / OS version: Mac Mojave
• URLs (if applicable): https://www.cabelas.com/user/login.jsp
• Node.js version: 8.11.3

What steps will reproduce the problem?

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({ headless: false })
const page = await browser.newPage()
await page.goto('https://www.cabelas.com/user/login.jsp')
await page.waitFor('#userName')
await page.type('#userName', 'test')
await page.type('#password', 'test')
await page.click('#logInBtn')
await page.waitFor(5000)
await page.screenshot({ path: 'failed.png' })

await browser.close()

What is the expected result?

For an error message to pop on the screen that my credentials are incorrect, as in a normal browser.

What happens instead?

The page is redirected to an Access Denied page.

@sean-hill looks like the webpage/webserver is running some checks to prevent automation scripts; I don’t think I can help somehow here.

How is it possible to identify this if supposedly puppeteer is supposed to work just as the usual chrome does?

try:

await page.setUserAgent(‘Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36’)
