new Horseman ({proxy}) failed to get url

[delormemarie240]

Hello, Without proxy options in new Horseman, script is working great. But when I run this script I get this error: "Unhandled rejection Error: Failed to GET url: http://www.check2ip.com". When I turn proxyType as 'none' I access to check2ip but IP is not 142.91.204.5

var Horseman = require("node-horseman");

var horseman = new Horseman({
proxy: '142.91.204.5:22',

 proxyType: 'socks5',

 proxyAuth: 'root:msn43w1'

});


horseman
    .open('http://www.check2ip.com')
    .screenshot('check2ip.jpg')
    .log()
    .close();

Are you sure you have the right username, password, and proxy type? It seems like you're failing to connect to the proxy.

[delormemarie240]

yes I use right user name, pw and proxy type. I can connect putty or bitvise with it.

[awlayton]

Can you post the output from running it with DEBUG='horseman' and BLUEBIRD_DEBUG=1 set?

I im having this issue as well.

when i access it without a proxy everything works, this seems to happen on https sites but not all.

notice the horseman phantomjs onLoadFinished triggered +4ms success and then horseman phantomjs onLoadFinished triggered +376ms fail 1

[aryeharmon]

I did a test and sites that only are available over https this always happens.

[awlayton]

Why is your proxy running on the SSH port @delormemarie240? Also, that IP does not seem to be up...

[awlayton]

Can you connect to HTTPS sites _without_ a proxy @aryeharmon?

2. I run proxy on port 22 by default as it is working on bitvise or putty. Which proxy should I used ? 80 isn't working and 1080 access to Apache webpage server.

3. I give you rights proxy informations : proxy: '142.91.104.1:80', proxyAuth: 'root:flipiflop'

[awlayton]

80 is a weird port as well @delormemarie240 , that's HTTP. In fact, there's a web server running on 80. If you're just picking random ports use high numbers (like in the 1000's or higher).

I do not know anything about using bitvise or putty. Are you running the proxy on the machine that is running horseman?

[delormemarie240]

Yes I run proxy on the machine that is running horseman. As I use pm2 (process monitoring) I would like to - from one proxy - start many horseman instances on others proxies. It would be faster than start horseman instance from each proxy one by one ... Could you suggest to me which hosting supplier provides working proxy on horseman?

[awlayton]

Horseman should work with any SOCKSv5 proxy. Right now my only guess as to what could be happening is either:

1. Your proxy is not setup the way you think, or
2. there is a problem with proxies in PhatnomJS.

I do not see how the horseman code could be causing this (it just passes the proxy options right to phantom), and I think 2 is _very_ unlikely.

[johntitus]

@delormemarie240, can you try setting the horseman timeout to something big, like 30 seconds, and retrying this?

[spacedevin]

had the same issue and was just a timeout issue. when I did .waitForSelector('body')before everything else it worked fine.
