* This is a project designed to get around sites using Cloudflare's "I'm under attack" mode.
* Using the PhantomJS headless browser, it queries a site given to it as the second parameter,
* waits six seconds and returns the cookies required to continue using this site. With this,
* it is possible to automate scrapers or spiders that would otherwise be thwarted by Cloudflare's
* anti-bot protection.
*
* To run this: phantomjs cloudflare-challenge.js http://www.example.org/
