Newgrounds is having some issues due to the DDOS attack and recently they implemented a simple Cloudflare "click here human" type of verification, that sometimes results in a Captcha. So now gallery-dl is giving out this error:

C:\gallery-dl>Call gallery-dl -o skip=true --filter "date >= datetime(2025, 9, 7) or abort()" --directory "C:\gallery-dl\gallery-dl\newgrounds\aaaaaron122" https://aaaaaron122.newgrounds.com/
[newgrounds][warning] '503 Service Unavailable' for 'https://aaaaaron122.newgrounds.com/art?page=1&isAjaxRequest=1'
[newgrounds][error] An unexpected error occurred: TypeError - 'NullResponse' object does not support the context manager protocol. Please run gallery-dl again with the --verbose flag, copy its output and report this issue on https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues .

The output:

Issue can be reproduced, when I try running any Newgrounds link results in the same error.
