#223 SR_ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME

[David Hedlund]

Party Vibe Psychedelic Trance Radio Station cannot be used with streamripper:

$ streamripper -v
Streamripper 1.64.6
$ streamripper http://107.182.233.214:8010/ -u "Mozilla/5.0+(Windows+NT+5.1;+WOW64;+x64;+rv:52.0)+Gecko/20100101+Firefox/52.0"
Connecting...

error -6 [SR_ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME]
bye..
shutting down

Adding --debug didn't output anything extra.

It's working with an empty User-Agent ( -u " " )
It means there is some kind of server limitation to redirect to an HTML page when the User-Agent is a browser

I agree the error should not be SR_ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME

[David Hedlund]

Good work you too Eugene, I wouldn't figure that out by myself.

This problem is caused by the user-agent. If you use for instance VLC ("VLC/2.2.6 LibVLC/2.2.6"), the stream works:

streamripper http://107.182.233.214:8010/ -u "VLC/2.2.6 LibVLC/2.2.6"

Even if the problem can be solved here with changing the user-agent, I found that the misleading error message "error -6 [SR_ERROR_CANT_RESOLVE_HOSTNAME]" comes from the following sequence:

• Streamripper tries to connect to http://107.182.233.214:8010/ with the wrong user-agent
• the server disallows the Streamripper client because of it's user-agent and issues a HTTP redirect
• the redirect only consists of a relative URL (Location:index.html)
• Streamripper tries to parse "index.html" as an absolute URL
• Streamripper does not find the host name in "index.html" and prints the error message

The following code in http.c, function http_sc_connect should handle redirects more intelligently:

if (*info->http_location) {
    /* RECURSIVE CASE */
    debug_printf ("Redirecting: %s\n", info->http_location);
    url = info->http_location;
    return http_sc_connect (rmi, sock, info->http_location, 
                proxyurl, info, useragent, if_name);
} else {
    break;
}

Thank you very much.

Note that you don't need a specific user agent as pointed out by Eugene Adell , you can use: streamripper http://107.182.233.214:8010/ -u " "
