Remote end closed connection without response

I am trying to get the HTML source from a webpage using the following code:

import requests
url = "https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english-arabic/hi"
r = requests.get(url)

but, I am getting the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/username/ak_env/lib/python3.8/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py", line 699, in urlopen
    httplib_response = self._make_request(

  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 276, in _read_status
    raise RemoteDisconnected("Remote end closed connection without"
http.client.RemoteDisconnected: Remote end closed connection without response

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise ConnectionError(err, request=request)
requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', RemoteDisconnected('Remote end closed connection without response'))

Is there any way to fix this issue? any other function to get the source code? I used wget and it works. I may consider using wget to download the page if there is no direct fix or another python function.

You are missing headers to authenticate yourself as a User.

This one will help you:

import requests

url = 'https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english-arabic/hi'

headers = requests.utils.default_headers()

headers.update(
    {
        'User-Agent': 'My User Agent 1.0',
    }
)

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
print(response.text)

It works on my machine. Some more information according to headers:
