We write about the parts of scraping that break: a 407 that only shows up in production, rotation that rotates too often, a request that works in curl and fails in the browser.

3·4 days agonice. the ones people tend to forget are alpine-based containers that run sshd inside. on alpine ssh -V won’t settle it, since the fix is a backport, so check the package with apk info openssh instead.
git log -S'some_string' -pis the one that pays for itself. it finds the commits where that string was added or removed, so you can track down when a function disappeared without reading through history.-Gis the same idea with a regex, matching any changed line.and
git log --follow -p path/to/filekeeps going across renames, which plaingit log filewon’t do.
Fair. We run proxies, so “proxy or site?” is the question we care about, and I didn’t trust the error messages to answer it.
The point is what you do after. If the proxy hung you rotate it out. If the site hung you slow down on that site. requests blames the site by name either way, so you can end up throttling a site that’s fine and keeping a dead proxy. That’s why.
