I get the same thing, even when JavaScript is disabled.
My guess is that they're expecting some form field that we're not
sending.  It's supposed to be filled in by JavaScript, and if we don't
send it, they assume that we're using some kind of automation to access
their site.  Automation usually isn't "smart" enough to run JavaScript.
And our JS implementation is hitting a snag somewhere, failing to fill
in that field.
I'd try this in Chromium with ChromeVox, but I have no way to see what
query the browser is sending to the server.  If this were a plain http
connection, I'd dump the traffic to a file with tcpdump and extract what
I need.  But it's https.  I'm looking into mitmproxy, which may help me
to examine the traffic.
