Error under OS X: httplib.BadStatusLine: ''

[romanenko]

Hello. I used to use previous, ruby version of localtunnel, noticed that you released a new one, but I can't get it working.

I installed localtunnel with pip, on OSX Mountain Lion, and when I try to run it, I get this error:

$ localtunnel-beta 3000
Traceback (most recent call last):

What can cause such an error? I tried to reinstall localtunnel several times, update dependencies, but nothing helps.

I got the same error on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, here's the traceback:

[VKen]

Same issue on Ubuntu Quantal.

httplib.BadStatusLine: ''

Installed in virtualenv using pip as shown in the readme's instructions.

Dived into the code to trace what went wrong. It seems the default hostname v2.localtunnel.com isn't responding correctly.

def discover_backend_port(hostname, frontend_port=80):
    try:
        data = urllib2.urlopen(urllib2.Request(
            "http://{0}:{1}/".format(hostname,frontend_port),
            headers={"Host": "_backend.{0}".format(hostname)}))
        return int(data.read())
    except urllib2.HTTPError:
        raise RuntimeError("Frontend failed to provide backend port")

I tried that urllib2.Request line that's having problem in ipython by passing in the respective arguments, and I got:

URLError: <urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>

A totally different error. (I think I'm missing something...) This might mean that part of the issue is the localtunnel service at v2.localtunnel.com is down.

Duplicate #87 Same issue in OSX (Mountain Lion), Python 2.7.2.

Looks like the same error for me:

[fizerkhan]

It seems v2.localtunnel.com is offline

[mileszs]

Same errors here, OSX Mountain Lion. Went:

brew install python
pip install localtunnel
/usr/loca/share/python/localtunnel-beta 3000

[david-l-young]

Same. OSX

[tbuehl]

Same here, OSX Mountain Lion. Installed via easyinstall, client: 0.5.8.

localtunnel-beta --version
client: 0.5.8
server: ?? (v2.localtunnel.com)

[egrachev]

same problem client 0.6.0, ubuntu 12.10

[juanriaza]

Now seems to be working
