Development, works great. Production, I get this

How do i do that?

[carlotorniai]

Probably Linkedin is blocking your prod machine IP. I had the same problem and I had to use tor to get my app to work.

[mmahalwy]

What's tor?

[carlotorniai]

https://www.torproject.org/

[mmahalwy]

@carlotorniai do you have an example to how you used it? Would i just do: res = Tor::HTTP.get(Linkedin::Profile.get_profile( 'http://www.linkedin.com/in/mmahalwy'))

[carlotorniai]

That should work basically you want to redirect the http results to tor. But I will go back to my code as soon as I have the time.

[mmahalwy]

Perfect, thanks Carlo!

[mmahalwy]

Tried Tor, not working well with new ruby?

[mmahalwy]

@yatish27 anyway to have it not blocked by linkedin?

[mmahalwy]

Just created a small server on heroku and returns nil, same problem as noted above (that was on Rackspace).

I am not seeing anything from mechanize. Not working in production maybe?

[mmahalwy]

Any update on this issue?

Seems like linkedin is blocking...

[mmahalwy]

Yep, had to proxy
