"End of file reached" error OR Zlib::BufError using HTTParty

990 views Asked by At

I am experiencing two different errors - depending on whether I use Httparty in my Ruby app or I use it from the command line.

URL I am trying to access: http://apiv2.ahrefs.com/?token=$INSERT_VALID_AHREFS_API_TOKEN&from=backlinks&output=json&mode=domain&target=blog.ahrefs.com&limit=1000 HTTP method: GET

When I do so directly in bundle console I get Zlib::BufError:

HTTParty.get "http://apiv2.ahrefs.com/?token=$INSERT_VALID_AHREFS_API_TOKEN&from=backlinks_new_lost&output=json&mode=domain&target=blog.ahrefs.com&limit=1000"

Same error occurs for the following command: Net::HTTP.get(URI('http://apiv2.ahrefs.com/?token=$AHREFS_API_TOKEN&from=backlinks_new_lost&output=json&mode=domain&target=blog.ahrefs.com&limit=1000'))

When I do it from the command line:

httparty "http://apiv2.ahrefs.com/?token=$INSERT_VALID_AHREFS_API_TOKEN&from=backlinks_new_lost&output=json&mode=domain&target=blog.ahrefs.com&limit=1000"

The problem disappears when I reduce the limit query parameter to limit=10.

My assumption is that this is because the server returns a chunked response, if there is enough data.

I tested the URL with curl and it worked without a hitch. That's why I am assuming it is a problem in HTTParty
