WWW Text Returning Anti-Robot HTML String

I've been doing some basic experimenting with WWW.text but I've come across some problems.

First of all, no matter what online document I use I receive an HTML string instead of the basic text actually featured on the website. Is this normal?

Second of all, the actual html code I receive from running WWW.text on any website or document at all, is an anti-malicious-robot page by google that features CAPTCHA. This happens even if I switch out which internet browser is my default, or which website I want to access. I am unable to proceed past the CAPTCHA using only Unity, so I get stuck at a dead end at this point. I am having no problems retrieving the data, and Unity isn't stating any errors, but the data that is being caught is experiencing this problem.

Any solutions or information about what's going on here would be deeply appreciated. Thanks!

Can you post the content that you're getting back? A quote of the text/html, and maybe a screenshot of the CAPTCHA?

Also, what kind of network are you connecting to? I'm wondering if maybe Google is intercepting your web call with one of those Wifi signup pages that you get at airports... or something along those lines?

Also, wild guess, check how many times you're making the request. If you're sending it lots of times per second, you might be triggering some kind of bot spam filter.
