504 Error #88

Closed jonxuxu closed 3 years ago

jonxuxu commented 3 years ago

Loved Musetree! I played around with it a few months ago, but it looks like it has completely stopped working recently. It seems that the request to https://musenet.openai.com/sample returns a 504 error now. Do you know what might be causing this?

stevenwaterman commented 3 years ago

Seems like they're explicitly checking the referrer field in web requests and denying anything that doesn't come from their website. I can work around that, but they clearly don't want musetree using their API so I'd rather not. I'll have to have a think about what the solution is here, but for now you'll have to give up using musetree (or fork it and do the workaround yourself)

More specifically, seems like they're blocking the https://www.stevenwaterman.uk/musetree/ referrer and nothing else. Not sending the referrer or setting it to https://www.google.com seems to be ok

I should mention that i'm seeing 405 errors on the OPTIONS request - is that different to you?

stevenwaterman commented 3 years ago

Yeah it seems like they refuse any request from a referrer that contains the string stevenwaterman

If there's someone from OpenAI reading this - You could've just asked???

If you want to use MuseTree, you can still clone it and run it locally - that will change the referrer and get it working again. While it would be trivial to remove the referrer from the request (or just host it at a different domain), I'd rather take down the hosted version if OpenAI don't want me using their api.

OpenAI reached out to me and explained that the blocking was a temporary measure in response to extreme traffic coming from MuseTree which DOS attacked their servers and broke the official tool. I have temporarily disabled the (terrible) retry logic and will re-add a better implementation that won't infinitely spam their servers. They have removed the block so I will close this issue.
