Eror getting config

[ysomad]

Hi! I'm getting error on parsing mainnet config, issue encountered between Dec. 10 and 11.

Code:

_, err := liteclient.GetConfigFromUrl(context.Background(), "https://ton.org/global.config.json")
if err != nil {
  return fmt.Errorf("get config: %w", err)
}

Returns:
get config: invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value

Hi, Yes I can confirm it!

It's caused because in response HTML is present, GetConfigFromUrl not handling status of response

any quick fix for it?

[ysomad]

idk, vpn or proxy to bypass cloudflare

curl https://ton-blockchain.github.io/global.config.json and curl https://ton.org/global.config.json works fine on both VPS and my machine! Using VPN or proxy for what when I can get the result using curl but it does not work with tonutils-go?

Yeah, you're right. I'm pretty sure the problem may caused by missing headers, User-Agent maybe, will check later

Same for me, looks like some rules on the server blocks it, i will notify the team.

As an option for now you can download it and put locally, then load with liteclient.GetConfigFromFile("path to file.json")

does it work for you? @ysomad I still get the same error. Any update when it can fixed? @xssnick

You getting error even when using file? URL https://ton-blockchain.github.io/global.config.json works fine for me, for ton.org I already notified them, hope will be fixed soon

Thanks! I fixed it, problem was on my side! But it'd be good if it fixes soon from the URL!

One more question, how often the .json will change? can I keep it as a file for how long?

[xssnick]

It changes not so often and usually only some nodes are replaced, if you update it once a month I think it will be ok
