TlsException when running getPosts

[mr]

I'm trying to get some basic usage out of this library for a little bit and I'm getting a strange error when I try to use getPosts. This is the only function I've really tried to do anything with, but here's what I'm doing.

{-# LANGUAGE OverloadedStrings #-}

import Reddit

main :: IO ()
main = runReddit "ayy" "lmao" getPosts >>= print

Sometimes this prints out a response, however sometimes I get this:

matt@crocomire ~/workspace/reddit-test
  % cabal run reddit-test
Preprocessing executable 'reddit-test' for reddit-test-0.1.0.0...
Running reddit-test...
Left (HTTPError (TlsException (HandshakeFailed Error_EOF)))

Any idea why it might work sometimes but not other times? I've tried a few times and it seems random.

Oh I just tried it again and got Left (HTTPError (FailedConnectionException "api.reddit.com" 443)) instead. I have not recompiled in between working/not working times.

Does https://reddit.com/ work on your connection?

If it doesn't, it's probably an issue with Reddit's SSL (their servers are not the most reliable), but if it does, you could try this:

import Network.Connection
import Network.HTTP.Conduit
import Reddit

main =
  withManagerSettings (mkManagerSettings (TLSSettingsSimple True False False) Nothing) $ \m ->
    runRedditWith (def { connectionManager = Just m}) getPosts

This will disable certificate checking for the connection.

I can reliably get to HTTPS reddit, however I can't get a result with the API. I was able to use your method and runRedditAnon to work though. I actually don't need to log in for anything I'm doing, so that works for me, but you probably want to look more into this.

which operating system / GHC version are you using?
