Project description:
"I already have a working Python code-base that drives the IRCTC Android flow, but every day at the Tatkal rush windows (08:00, 10:00 and 11:00 IST) the login call is rejected with the server message “Unable to process current request.” Outside those three peaks everything logs in smoothly, so the root cause is clearly load-window specific rather than a generic bug.

The original foreign developer who wrote the script can’t reproduce the issue from his region, so I’m looking for an Indian developer who understands IRCTC’s real-world quirks—throttling, device-id headers, captcha timing and SSO cookies—and can pair with him on a shared session. I will give you access to the full Python code (requests + Selenium mix), the current APK build the script targets, and a set of test credentials.

What I need from you:
• Step-through review of the login function during a live Tatkal window, capturing headers, tokens and any dynamic keys that differ from off-peak traffic.
• Patch or refactor the routine so it consistently authenticates under load without triggering IRCTC’s “unable to process” response.
• Quick regression test to confirm no side effects on standard bookings.

You are free to use Fiddler, Charles, mitmproxy or straight Python logging—whatever helps you trace the handshake. Once the fix is validated I’ll merge it into the main repo and redeploy the APK.

If you’ve previously automated IRCTC or handled similar high-traffic login throttles, this should be a concise win. Let’s jump on a call, walk through the current code and squash the bottleneck." (client-provided description)
