Python requests.exception.ConnectionError: connection aborted "BadStatusLine"
http, http-headers, python
Solution
The problem was with the url. This connection was meant to be established over https and I was using http in the python script. Hence the issue.
Problem
I am trying to use the Python requests module to issue Http GET commands to access some REST based APIs. The urls are working fine on a RESTClient but when I use the same url in python, I get a connection error. The code I am trying to execute is: ``` payload={"mac":new_mac,"token":token} userloginurl="http://192.168.1.40:9119/uid" r=requests.get(userloginurl,params=payload) print(r.url) ``` If I test this url using RESTClient, I get a 200 OK status code in the response header along with some more fields. But this is not working with python requests. The traceback of the error is shown below: ``` Traceback (most recent call last): File "getAPids.py", line 34, in <module> r=requests.get(userloginurl,params=payload) File "C:\Users\garvitab\python\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 65, in get return request('get', url, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\garvitab\python\lib\site-packages\requests\api.py", line 49, in request response = session.request(method=method, url=url, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\garvitab\python\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 4 61, in request resp = self.send(prep, **send_kwargs) File "C:\Users\garvitab\python\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 5 73, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\garvitab\python\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 4 15, in send raise ConnectionError(err, request=request) requests.exceptions.ConnectionError: ('Connection aborted.', BadStatusLine("''", )) ``` I looked up for the cause of the problem. Possibly, the response received is not formatted correctly. Is there a way to handle this problem? Thanks in advance.
