Error: Failed to init request

Closed this issue · 2 comments

I am frequently getting a Failed to init request error message back from Facebook, where bitlbee will disconnect, spend some time attempting to reconnect, and eventually reconnect. This started occurring after having bitlbee-facebook run for a few days.

Here's one such instance:

04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Error: Failed to init request
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Signing off..
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Reconnecting in 5 seconds..
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Fetching contacts
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Login error: Failed to init request
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Signing off..
04:30 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Reconnecting in 15 seconds..
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Fetching contacts
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Login error: Failed to init request
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Signing off..
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Reconnecting in 45 seconds..
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Fetching contacts
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Login error: Failed to init request
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Signing off..
04:31 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Reconnecting in 135 seconds..
04:34 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Fetching contacts
04:34 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Connecting
04:34 | <@root> | facebook - Logging in: Logged in

If it eventually reconnects then I don't see the issue. It's probably your network. "Failed to init request" means getting a very early and immediate error when starting the first http request, probably around the DNS part.

OK. I'll go ahead and close the ticket.
