Subject: [PATCH] Fix DAC (Dacorum): add playwright alongside
 verify_requests=False
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

democracy.dacorum.gov.uk's WAF drops the TLS handshake from Lambda when
using wreq's Firefox133 fingerprint — the connection stalls and times out
before any response is received. verify_requests=False (PR #346) addressed
the self-signed cert but does not bypass the WAF fingerprint block.
Adding http_lib="playwright" uses Chrome's TLS fingerprint which passes
the WAF. verify_requests=False is retained as the cert issue is still
present on this host.
