[google-appengine] Call to URLFetch failed with application error 5 for url x

*Background:* I am using google app engine and am having a weird bug in my site crawler. I have a backend that will automatically crawl a site every night. This is instigated by a task pushed to a pushQueue due to time limits in php. *Problem:* When I manually run the script that creates the

[google-appengine] deferred PermanentTaskFailure: __new__() takes exactly 4 arguments (due to DateTimePropety?) and How to override deferred.TaskHandler?

I've posted this question on SO a couple of days ago, and updated it with a few details since then. Essentially, I have a deferred task that leads to the error in the subject, which I suspect to come out of the call to unpickle the task request. I nee

[google-appengine] Re: Call to URLFetch failed with application error 5 for url x

I would increase the timeout for the url_fetch. If that does not work I would recommend posting on StackOverflow . You will have a better chance of finding someone who has had a similar

Re: [google-appengine] Re: high latency in urlfetch when calling an external API with google app engine

Dear Nick, Thank you for your response. We measured the latency as you suggested and the time is almost the same. The instance is in Europe and we are doing tests from Madrid and from London. Here is the problem we see. When we call to the API from a normal computer it takes around 300ms, however

[google-appengine] Re: creating a database instance independent of any project .

Hi there! Unfortunately, you cannot currently create a CloudSQL instance separate from a project itself, though what you can do is create a new instance within one of those projects, name it testdb as you mentioned, and work from there (so lon

Hi Francesco, Unfortunately, cross-posting a specific technical issue to this forum isn't the way to proceed here. This forum is meant for more general discussion of the platform and services, rather than specific technical issues. You've already done everything you can do (short of do more deb

Hey everyone, There are a few possible causes for this error message. Could you please private message me the app-ids for the projects currently experiencing this issue so I can investigate further? Cheers! On Tuesday, June 23, 2015 at 5:01:42 AM UTC-4, PK wrote: > > For the past few days I se

[google-appengine] CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Hi - I've been having a really tough time getting a CSR for my custom domain that I have running with google app engine. Is there anyone who can tell me how to get a CSR for my domain? I am trying to upgrade my site to SSL and my Certificate Authority (CA is Comodo) needs me to give them a CSR

Re: [google-appengine] Re: high latency in urlfetch when calling an external API with google app engine

Some further advice I can give you: If you check your App Engine logs, you can find that the two fields CPU milliseconds and Wall-clock milliseconds represent different metrics . CPU milliseconds is a measure of h

[google-appengine] Re: Starting Penetration testing on GAE

Hey Azher, Any app-level security tests are going to be fine: injection, CSRF, XSS, etc., will be fine to test, since we don't monitor or prevent this in any way. It's up to app developers to safeguard from these app-level vulnerabilities. However, when it comes to DOS, be aware that our infra

[google-appengine] Re: CSR (Certificate Signing Request)

Hey Brian, There are many tutorials out there on the web as to how you can use OpenSSL to create a CSR. Here's a document produced by OpenSSL.org which is very good. You can also read about it on many sites by googling. Generally, this for

[google-appengine] Re: How to run a long task until it ends ?

As mentioned, this can sometimes occur if you begin exhausting instance memory. You could try to do one of the following actions to alleviate such a problem: - If your task processing contains a loop, on each iteration (or every N iterations, or even using time-based logic if you'd like),

[google-appengine] Re: deferred PermanentTaskFailure: __new__() takes exactly 4 arguments (due to DateTimePropety?) and How to override deferred.TaskHandler?

I took a quick glance at your SO question now, it seemed too cryptic to me After having my own issues with deferred, I modified a custom one for myself, I haven't been using the default deferred for years At the time, the deferred lacked crucial features, especially with async operations, so I

[google-appengine] Re: "Request was aborted after waiting too long to attempt to service your request"

I also experienced these again recently, they are part of the rare appengine issue bursts, rarely things go wrong and deadline exceptions, transient errors and these errors arise, it's expected (at least I come to expect them) I used to experience these every day, but throttling my routines pre
