lord63 / isitup Goto Github PK

I stumbled upon this coming from https://github.com/sindresorhus/is-up-cli which inspired this project.

The nice thing about is-up-cli is that it returns a specific error code when the site is down and can therefore be used in automated scripts.

My use case is the following:
I want to check if my self-hosted website is reachable from the internet and otherwise restart the Raspberry Pi where it's hosted. I'm struggling with a few network issues -- which I don't quite understand right now -- that go away when I reboot the Pi.

A simple way to test this is to run the following code in a Shell:

# Do something in case the page is up.
isitup nope.it.isnt && echo "Hell yeah! Everything's fine"

# Do something in case the page is down.
isitup nope.it.isnt || echo "Site is down"

I'd rather like to use this tool as it is written in Python which I understand and have the environment for on every machine. For is-up-cli I would need to install node.js and npm.

Upon running isitup initially, I received this warning.

InsecurePlatformWarning: A true [135/661]
A true SSLContext object is not available. This prevents urllib3 from configuring SSL appropriately and may cause certain SSL connections to fail. You can upgrade to a newer version of Python to solve this. For more information, see https://urllib3.readthedocs.io/en/latest/security.html#insecureplatformwarning.

Now I did fix this, but I am writing up this issue to help others who may come across this.
I received this error when installing using pip install isitup as is stated to do in the instructions. However, I have Python 2.7 and Python 3.4 installed on my machine, the default pip for me installed isitup for Python 2.7.

The problem was fixed when I ran these lines:

pip uninstall isitup  
pip3 install isitup

I would also recommend the reader first making sure pip is updated and installed for Python 3 by following these instructions first.

Sorry for that, will add the user agent and release a new version tomorrow.

Any client (browser or bot) must provide an accurate and appropriate user agent description when using isitup and it's api.
