HTTP Error 403: Forbidden about dict.cc.py HOT 20 CLOSED

Thanks @aaschmid. @ploth, let us know if it works! 😃

from dict.cc.py.

Still working here, what command do you call @ploth?

from dict.cc.py.

Ah, I see. Looks like we're using urllib2 to make the HTTP request to dict.cc [0]. It doesn't seem to know about proxy environment variables [1].

I think we have two reasonable approaches:

1. Update the code to use requests;
2. Implement the proxy-switching logic based on the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable ourselves and use the stackoverflow solution.

I would lean towards approach 1, because it seems simpler and more standard. If you guys want to try and submit a PR, that would be great. Otherwise, I can do it a bit later today.

hi @ploth. Not sure if you solved it, but could it be that you're behind a proxy?

from dict.cc.py.

Yes I'm behind a proxy (company) but it stopped working 3 days ago. I don't know why it was working before.

from dict.cc.py.

Can you access https://www.dict.cc/ in your browser still? I assume so, so can you access it using curl or wget?

Yes

Yes

An using python and requests fails

echo -e "import requests\nprint(requests.get('https://dict.cc/'))" | python

???

from dict.cc.py.

@ploth another thing to try is to set the HTTPS_PROXY environment variable with the proxy your company uses. For example:

$ HTTPS_PROXY=http://my_proxy:my_port dict.cc.py en de body

from dict.cc.py.

echo -e "import requests\nprint(requests.get('https://dict.cc/'))" | python

$ echo -e "import requests\nprint(requests.get('https://dict.cc/'))" | python

http_proxy and https_proxy environment variables are already set.

from dict.cc.py.

wasn't aware that we haven't used requests anyway but see #21 which does it not ;-)

from dict.cc.py.

It is working now. Thanks!
But it is strange that this doesn't work anymore 35aea3b

from dict.cc.py.

Don't get what you mean @ploth ?

from dict.cc.py.

Its missing those spaces for an unknown reason between the dots and the vocables.

body..............Körper

instead of

body .............. Körper

from dict.cc.py.

Ah ok, works for me using the latest master, installing via makepkg -i on Archlinux. How do you use it?

from dict.cc.py.

Installed from pip

from dict.cc.py.

thats the issue, pip does not have the latest version containing the wanted changes, see https://pypi.org/project/dict.cc.py/. The version in pip is from October 2016...

from dict.cc.py.

But we want to have a newer version on pip? I would maintain it.

from dict.cc.py.

@rbaron it is your repo, any thoughts?

from dict.cc.py.

Hi @aaschmid & @ploth,

I bumped the version to 3.0.0 and pushed it to PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/dict.cc.py/#history. Thanks for the inputs!
