[Investigating] Cloudflare blocks some Windows clients

JcynR commented 1 year ago

On linux I'm getting this with every command:

The input text has too few parameters., BadArgCount

The only command that's is triggered is .ai set RQrrOj-UNdEV2_PC5D03US-27MZ7EUtaRH_husjbRQA but it's not working:

Fetching character info... Error!
 Request failed! (https://beta.character.ai/chat/character/info/)
 Response: Internal Server Error
 Request Content: external_id=1
 Response Content: {"error": "Server Error (500)"}

On windows I get this:

 Error!
 Request failed! (https://beta.character.ai/chat/character/info/)
 Response: Forbidden
 Request Content: external_id=RQrrOj-UNdEV2_PC5D03US-27MZ7EUtaRH_husjbRQA

I'm using version 1.81

it's not picking up any of my messages with .ai either .ai hunt is working but it's still not responding to any of my messages, no errors in the console either.

Hello. Please, explain everything you did in steps so I could reproduce it. Because I can't really encounter any problem

external_id=1

If you have really specified id with 1, then ofc it would not work.

Something like this usually happens when you specify wrong auth token, either servers were simply down for a time

Please, provide screenshots of actual examples

If you were using auto_setup, checkout this: Additional configuration

JcynR commented 1 year ago

Resetting it did the trick. Thank you. As for the BadArgCount, you changed the commands to accept numbers now, that's why it told me that. So !!help and others didn't work. Imo you should just show all 3 pages at once for the help command. As for setting the char id to 1, i was just testing it out if it would respond at all and got confused with the windows bot I was running. However, windows still has that error page with auto setup and !!set RQrrOj-UNdEV2_PC5D03US-27MZ7EUtaRH_husjbRQA. I'm using the same config as on linux.

Imo you should just show all 3 pages at once for the help command.

I wanted to, but it's impossible due to text size limit, so I quickly split it with pages but forgot to set page 1 as default. I'll simply make proper modal with buttons later.

However, windows still has that error page with auto setup and !!set RQrrOj-UNdEV2_PC5D03US-27MZ7EUtaRH_husjbRQA. I'm using the same config as on linux.

I can't imagine any reasons for it to act different. Show me the full Response content of it

Some cloudflare bs, as I was expecting. Gotta try to mess with headers again...

FutureQueenBee commented 1 year ago

I have been having this problem with the Windows client as well:

CloudFlare 1020 error.

drizzle-mizzle commented 1 year ago

Well, right now the only solution is to refuse from using it on Windows and switch on Linux/WSL

drizzle-mizzle commented 1 year ago

@FutureQueenBee could you try to use it with VPN and tell me if problem goes away?

drizzle-mizzle commented 1 year ago

When (or if :c) Cloudflare problem will be fixed, this one must go away, 'cause HttpClient is not being used anymore.
