Error in tzupdate about tzupdate HOT 7 CLOSED

I'm not at home atm, I'll send u the output of that curl later although I believe I use ip-api for another program (to get my weather based on my location and it works fine). I am using cloudfares dns (1.1.1.1). Can this be a problem? Maybe the problem is even with my /etc/hosts. I'll try removing it and seeing what happens as soon as I get home. Thx for the help

Thanks a lot

Hi there,

Is this just me or has the api deprecated?

If you get this, it means that all APIs didn't respond within 5 seconds. Even if one is not working, that won't cause this.

What does running with --debug show, and which version are you running?

from tzupdate.

When i run it with debug i get:
`DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): ipapi.co:443
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTPS connection (1): freegeoip.app:443
DEBUG:urllib3.connectionpool:Starting new HTTP connection (1): ip-api.com:80

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

I am using the version 1.5.0-1 (latest in arch repos)

from tzupdate.

Okay, so none of those sites had any errors (or you would see it in the debug output), they just didn't respond within 5 seconds.

This seems like something localised to your internet setup. Judging by the fact that you never even send the GET request, there might be something wrong with your DNS.

What does time curl -v http://ip-api.com/json/ show?

from tzupdate.

I just got home and the time to run that command is 5.42s. That is probably why it doesnt work. Maybe you could make it so that instead of waiting only for 5s it waited for 6s? Thx

from tzupdate.

For now, you can use tzupdate --timeout 6 :-)

That said, I'll bump the timeout. That latency is massive though, much more than I expected any successful request could be :-)
