[import] CDN protected sites cannot be proxied

[kptdobe]

Run hlx import and try to import page https://www.globe.com.ph/business/enterprise.html. Nothing happens, the proxy returns 403.

Try to open proxy page in another browser tab: http://localhost:3001/business/enterprise.html?host=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.globe.com.ph and you get this:

The proxy request has the exact same headers than the browser request. Cloudflare puts a lot of effort from proxy / scripts / bots (well, no humans...) to not access the site. I do not think we can workaround this.

maybe it's possible to detect this, and then open the captcha.page, somehow steal the token and send it it along the requests...

The __cf_bm Cookie is essential. Maybe adding this as a CLI option could work (you'd still need to go into dev tools to steal the cookie)

#Please can someone help me understand what this is all about
