Openretraction name unresolved & Betterbib not working #254

Closed dbcliu closed 2 years ago

dbcliu commented 2 years ago

Today when I ran Betterbib, it stopped working with error:

requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: HTTPConnectionPool(host='openretractions.com', port=80): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/doi/10.1103/physrevlett.58.2059/data.json (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection object at 0x7f60cc14f730>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno -2] Name or service not known'))

And I find that the name openretractions.com is not resolved anymore. It may cause Betterbib to stop working.

Adding "192.30.252.153 openretractions.com" to the host file can temporarily solve this problem.

Seems fixed upstream.

I am encountering this bug as of 21 Feb 2023. Openretractions seems to be down. I would prefer the code to fail gracefully if it cannot access this resource. (I would be happy to commit a fix, but there seems to be no code in this repo.)

This has been fixed by disabling openretractions by default in the latest release. Note that 5.0 is also the first commerical release of betterbib.
