mrkgnao: Can you explain what you mean by "aren't on HTTPS"?
MaGog is able to read https URLs (e.g. https://www.gog.com/games/ajax/filtered?mediaType=game&page=1&sort=title ). She just get cookieless data. Can one read https URLs without being "on HTTPS"?
Also she has no problem logging in to GOG and accessing my library, all of which is https.
It's just that damn gog_lc cookie which doesn't cross the HTTPS barrier.
Your server's pages aren't encrypted, presumably your request is coming from an unencrypted page (on plain HTTP) and it's possible GoG doesn't like the cookie set by an unencrypted page to be used for an encrypted one.

Being able to access HTTPS pages shouldn't be affected by whether you're on HTTPS or not, but what you can do might...
Let me test this by trying my script from a plain HTTP url.
mrkgnao: Thank you for your offer to serve as a proxy, but it's not practical. We are talking about many hundreds of pages read every six hours (and many thousands on Saturday).
Yeah, I thought that would be the case. My bandwidth is unlimited... but I seem to already be at 1.12GB of usage (must be the Legacy Library Images and stuff), so I'm not sure how 'unlimited' it is. I'm still willing to at least try it.
No, never mind. I disabled the HTTPS redirect and tried on plain HTTP and it still worked so I don't think that's the issue.
