httpx.ConnectError: All connection attempts failed

[ganschen]

Dear all, I hope I find you good.

I'm facing a weird issue with the AsyncClient:

Platform

• docker, python:3.9-alpine3.13

version

• httpx==0.21.1

Code

client = httpx.AsyncClient()    
req = client.build_request("GET", url)    
r = await client.send(req, stream=True)    

Traceback

File "/code/./app/learning/api/api_file.py", line 105, in download
    r = await client.send(req, stream=True)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/httpx/_client.py", line 1600, in send
    response = await self._send_handling_auth(

Best Regards,

So, it couldn't connect. Although the error messaging obviously isn't very helpful for you in determining why.

Take things step by step. First, simplify it right down...

import httpx

httpx.get(url)  # What does this result in?

Try a different library...

import requests

requests.get(url)  # How about now?

Try a different tool entirely...

Try a different library...

$ curl <url>  # This?

Also, is this a public URL that you can share, so others can help you more easily?

Thanks for replying, this is a private AWS S3 storage call, and error is not always happen, it only happens in one of the hundreds of concurrent calls, so wondering it's a client error or a server error.

[YuvalHad1220]

did you resolve the issue?

[akdev-tech]

The same errors when trying to make 15 concurrent calls from Docker running on AWS EC2 instance

[ganschen]

@MilkaPeeka @akdev-tech , i resolved issue by upgrading anyio from 3.4.0 to 3.5.0

[akdev-tech]

Just made some tests. I meet the same problem when sharing httpx.AsyncClient() instance between coroutines. But when I changed my code to every coroutine using own httpx.AsyncClient() instance the problem has gone.

Before:

client = httpx.AsyncClient()

def coro():
    req = await client.post("<url>", json=data)

After:

def coro():
    async with httpx.AsyncClient() as client:
        req = await client.post("<url>", json=data)

[HMaker]

So httpx is not coroutine-safe?

[zanieb]

httpx is coroutine safe but your client context should span the lifetime of all the coroutines e.g.

do

async with httpx.AsyncClient(...) as client:
    async with anyio.create_task_group() as tg:
        tg.start_soon(client.post, ...)
        tg.start_soon(client.post, ...)

not

async with anyio.create_task_group() as tg:
    async with httpx.AsyncClient(...) as client:
        tg.start_soon(client.post, ...)
    tg.start_soon(client.post, ...)

If you have problems please provide a complete example. I'm not sure what @akdev-tech was doing but you should not need to context manage the client in every coroutine.

Same as @akdev-tech , I meet the same error when getting stream response with one global httpx.AsyncClient instance:

client = httpx.AsyncClient()

async def request():
    response = await self.client.send(req, stream=True)

But the error is not raised offen(about 1~2% per day), so I am not sure whether it's a server-side problem or a client-side problem.
