Ask HN: Are some large sites down again like recently?
Asking because 1) I saw a thread about same topic a few days ago, and 2) Twitter and LinkedIn are down for me now. HN works though. Pasting some test results in a comment below.
- LinuxBender 8y agoYou can get some ideas from DownDetector [1] [1] - https://downdetector.com/ https://downdetector.com/
- vram22 8y agoThanks. I had just tried a few similar ones (downforeveryoneorjustme.com and such) but 2 did not work. Will still try your link though.
- vram22 8y agoI checked (apart from trying to go to those sites in the browser, of course) using a slightly modified (only messages) version of this small Python program that I had written recently: https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2018/03/checking-if-web-sites-are-online-with.html https://jugad2.blogspot.com/2018/03/checking-if-web-sites-ar... A couple of results for Twitter and LinkedIn: $ python is_site_online.py https://mobile.twitter.com https://mobile.twitter.com https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com Checking if given sites are online or not: https://mobile.twitter.com https://mobile.twitter.com https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Checking https://mobile.twitter.com https://mobile.twitter.com: Error: Could not connect. ConnectionError: ("bad handshake: SysCallError(-1, 'Unexpected EOF')",) $ python is_site_online.py https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com Checking if given sites are online or not: https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com ------------------------------------------------------------ Checking https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com: Site: https://linkedin.com https://linkedin.com Check with allow_redirects = False Results: r.ok: True r.status_code: 301 request time: 5.797 secs ------------------------------------------------------------ Error: Exception: Exceeded 30 redirects. Interesting thing is that last line above. Did not see it before when using this program.
