Re: IETF web site behind CloudFlare

Although I couldn't read the present string (because it was in what
appeared to be Polish), I can confirm that I can successfully access
<https://www.ietf.org/> through Tor after completing the captcah without
JavaScript. It worked without any problems (except the language bit but
that doesn't really count).

Tom Thorogood.

When you do that, what happens with me in the Tor Browser is instead of letting you get to the site, it just starts the whole captcha process off again from scratch.
