…yw.cymru Gwynedd Council migrated their ModGov democracy portal from democracy.cyngor.gwynedd.gov.uk to democracy.gwynedd.llyw.cymru. The old domain responds with HTTP 307 redirects to the new domain but wreq times out waiting for a full response (30-second timeout). The new domain serves the GetCouncillorsByWard XML endpoint correctly and returns all 69 councillors with emails and photos.

What broke
Gwynedd Council migrated their ModGov democracy portal from
democracy.cyngor.gwynedd.gov.uktodemocracy.gwynedd.llyw.cymru. The old domain returns HTTP 307 (Temporary Redirect) to the new domain, but wreq times out waiting for a full HTTP response body after the redirect (30-second timeout). The new domain serves theGetCouncillorsByWardXML endpoint correctly with no WAF interference.What was fixed
