Error reading from socket

[AlexAvlonitis]

Intermittent connection issues when updating-deleting records. As a workourand I'm retrying the request.

Are you doing batch operations? You may be exceeding the API rate

[AlexAvlonitis]

I'm trying the same set of data every time, fails intermittently, about 700 entries not faster than 1 entry per second. At some point i'm fetching entries with the paginated data, I added 1 sec throttle there as well. Wouldn't it return rate limit error if it was exceeding the limits?

Hey @AlexAvlonitis,

This is usually related to connection issues on the client's network end. Is it possible for you to run a ping check on your end and check if there's any packet loss? If you're having network issues, this is an easy way to diagnose it.

Cheers

Thanks for the responses @HQ063 @dlitvakb, i ran ping with 0 packet loss for about half an hour.

Also found out this and might be relevant, someone had similar issue with the http gem, and i think they patched it recently
httprb/http#589

I have the same error when attempting to retrieve all/any specific content types using this gem:

require 'contentful/management'
client = Contentful::Management::Client.new(@@cma_key)
content_types = client.content_types(@@space, @@environment).all

content_types gives *** HTTP::ConnectionError Exception: error reading from socket: Could not parse data

This code used to work with no problem, and hasn't changed for about 18 months on my end. Lately this call is failing 100% of the time with this HTTP error.

I have tried upgrading the HTTP gem with no luck. All my other API calls work, such as entries. It seems anything related to content_types is not working. Any advice? Thanks!

I was having the same error. Downgrading to v4.1.1 of http solved the problem.

thanks @kkorach that fixed it for me.
