I have written a script which checks all of my servers at predetermined intervals.
code: try: page = urllib2.urlopen(url) soup= page.read() reex = re.compile(regex) test = re.findall(reex,soup) except ValueError,e: return 0 if test: return 1 else: return 0 Without the try clause the following exception is thrown: Traceback (most recent call last): File "~/webcheck2.py", line 116, in ? if sitetest(url,search): File "~/webcheck2.py", line 71, in sitetest soup= page.read() File "/usr/lib/python2.4/socket.py", line 285, in read data = self._sock.recv(recv_size) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 460, in read return self._read_chunked(amt) File "/usr/lib/python2.4/httplib.py", line 499, in _read_chunked chunk_left = int(line, 16) ValueError: invalid literal for int(): This script has been running well for months. Within the past week it has started misbehaving. There is a python Bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1486335&group_id=5470&atid=105470 <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1486335&group_id=5470&atid=105470> that states this is caused by a missing EOF, and is "not a big deal" At this point I am confused. What exactly is causing this problem that didn't exist until a week ago? How can I work Around this?
