View submission: Bug: "gated" subreddits inaccessible via OAuth

There was a post here two days ago about this[1] that had a solution, but the author deleted it. I'll see if I can reproduce the solution.

1: https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/thut8k/some_subreddits_api_are_gated_now/

Edit:

const https = require('https')
const options = {
  hostname: 'api.reddit.com',
  path: '/r/MorbidReality/about',
  headers: {
    'user-agent': 'test user agent',
    cookie: 'edgebucket=; _options={%22pref_gated_sr_optin%22:true}',
  },
}\
const req = https.request(options, res =&gt; {
  res.on('data', d =&gt; {
    process.stdout.write(d)
  })
})
req.end()

There's the code he had. So looks like you can get it working if you format the cookie the right way.
