The Sleepy User Agent
Blog post from Cloudflare
A customer recently inquired about simple GET requests for their homepage being blocked by the Cloudflare Web Application Firewall (WAF).

To mitigate such attacks, it's crucial for web applications to sanitize input and employ security measures like Cloudflare's WAF.
