I am currently getting error 503 when getting request. Anyone facing similar issue?

Yeah, since yesterday. This fixed it for me:

You might also have to be on Java 1.8 to set the user agent like that. I've tried a newer Java version once and it didn't work.

I tested on java 17 it seem to work fine. You are my savior.

Hi All,

My JDK is 1.8, and I have filled in the "User-Agent" value. But, with the debugger, I see a responseCode of -1 downstream of the new call

redirectableRequest.openConnection(requestProperties);

Any advice?
