DA not returning login page, maybe use cookies to bypass?

As with #15, I'm not able to use the 'log in' feature anymore. Instead of fetching the login page, dA returns the 'we suspect you're a bot' page (which includes a captcha). furaffinity-dl uses a cookies.txt file to bypass FA's login page (which also has a captcha), so something like that might work here. I'm looking right now at another gem by the makers of Mechanize for handling cookies (http-cookie).

Login was successful on my end. Since DA has opened its API, maybe u can try using them

Huh, it works for me again. Maybe they were experiencing a heavy load just then. Thanks for the heads-up about the API, I'll look into that going forward.
