Allow expanding "wrong on internet" twitter links #27

Closed thedod closed 9 years ago

thedod commented 9 years ago

[e.g.] trying to reshare tweet of user w fail profile url (ATM: @ioerror, @kseistrup), expand failed dragging down the request. There were also 2 log commands that failed (at least when this happened) so I commented them out. Works now.

Any chance you saved the exception that the log commands gave?

Also I know it's from the xkcd, but I don't get the "wrong on the internet" reference :confused:

this bin is the first time it happened (was easy to search for the first "ioerror" :wink:). Would be a bit more of a hassle to hunt down where the other log command failed (after I've commented the first one), but I sorta remember it looked like "the same problem".

Just like the xkcd where he can't sleep because someone is wrong on the internet, redwind couldn't retweet someone with a bad homepage link (404/down/dns-expired/etc.). The only allowed exception was timeout (because for all we know, maybe the user is right and the internet is wrong :wink:)
