democracy.broxtowe.gov.uk returns HTTP 301 → HTTPS. Playwright follows the redirect in theory, but the HTTP connection times out before the redirect is served (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). Pointing base_url directly at the HTTPS endpoint resolves the timeout. The HTTPS endpoint returns valid ModGov XML (GetCouncillorsByWard confirmed 200 OK).

What broke
democracy.broxtowe.gov.ukhas been redirecting HTTP to HTTPS (301 Moved Permanently), butmetadata.jsonstill pointedbase_urlat the oldhttp://URL. Withhttp_lib = "playwright"already set, Playwright was timing out trying to load the HTTP URL before the redirect could be served (net::ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT). The HTTPS endpoint is fully operational and returns valid ModGov XML (GetCouncillorsByWardconfirmed 200 OK with councillor data).What was fixed
