Bug#856248: trydiffoscope: traceback with "500 Server Error"

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: trydiffoscope
Version: 64
Severity: important

I haven't been able to use trydiffoscope for some weeks now, getting
tracebacks like the following:

  $ date > a
  $ # wait a bit...
  $ date > b
  $ trydiffoscope a b
  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/trydiffoscope", line 142, in <module>
      sys.exit(TryDiffoscope(args).main())
    File "/usr/bin/trydiffoscope", line 45, in main
      response.raise_for_status()
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/requests/models.py", line 893, in raise_for_status
      raise HTTPError(http_error_msg, response=self)
  requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 500 Server Error: Internal Server Error for url: https://try.diffoscope.org/api/v3/comparison/xhdzpgzfphhf


Presumably this is an issue server-side, or an API incompatibility, or... ?


live well,
  vagrant
