# FlareSolverr HTML Wrapper Pattern

When using FlareSolverr to bypass Cloudflare on Discourse forums (linux.do, etc.), the API response JSON is wrapped in HTML `<pre>` tags:

```
FlareSolverr response:
{
  "status": "ok",
  "solution": {
    "response": "<html><head>...</head><body><pre>{...actual JSON...}</pre></body></html>"
  }
}
```

**Fix**: Extract JSON from `<pre>` before parsing:

```python
resp = data["solution"]["response"]
if "<pre>" in resp and "</pre>" in resp:
    resp = resp.split("<pre>")[1].split("</pre>")[0]
data = json.loads(resp)  # Now works
```

**Working FlareSolverr endpoints** (on DO server [REDACTED-IP]):
- `http://localhost:8191/v1` — FlareSolverr API
- POST with `{"cmd": "request.get", "url": "...", "maxTimeout": 30000}`

**Known targets**:
| Site | CF? | FlareSolverr? |
|------|-----|---------------|
| linux.do | Yes | ✅ Works |
| nodeloc.com | No | Not needed |
| Reddit | Yes | ❌ Blocked |
| dc.hhhl.cc | No | Not needed |
