[BUG - Android] Firefox Custom Search Engine - Error Connecting #824

Open tootbrute opened 2 years ago

tootbrute commented 2 years ago

Describe the bug I can't get Firefox Android to add Whoogle as a custom search engine. It says "Error connecting to Whoogle..." It works happily on my desktop Fedora 36 using Brave and Firefox though.

It gives me the error: "Error connecting to "Whoogle""

I tried http, https, and just the domain name but I got the same error.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Settings
  2. Click on 'Search'
  3. Click on + Add search egine
  4. Type ' blah.com/search?q=%s
  5. Shows error "Error connecting to blah..."

Deployment Method

Version of Whoogle Search

Smartphone (please complete the following information):

Did you see #703?

Unfortunately I'm not able to replicate this with my Android device. The only Android device I have is an old tablet though, so it's not the best for testing this kind of stuff.

I'd recommend checking your server logs when you're attempting to add the engine and see if there's some endpoint it's attempting to reach when you add it. If there's something weird in there, I can help debug further that way, otherwise it'd likely be best for someone with an Android device to try and debug this.

Logs from this whoogle container are pretty weird. Lots of TOR in here.

No info about trying to add it to firefox. Tried a few times and checked these logs unless there is a better way to get logs.

About issue #703 I did check that. I don't have authentication on my whoogle. Also I just restarted all of docker before taking these logs.

Nothing weird about that -- the Tor service is started by default in the Whoogle container, so those startup logs are to be expected.

The default server that Whoogle uses doesn't actually report info about new requests, so I think I'll have to add a way of enabling debugging within the container. I'll try to get to that soon.
