Can not connect to teamhouse url

Can you post the code you're using to get the object. It shouldn't be throwing an error.

Hi Zac thanks for the reply here is the code for getting json feed url:

function webscriber_profile_get_username($webscriber_username){
    $json_feed_url = 'http://teamtreehouse.com/' . $webscriber_username . '.json';
    $args = array( 'timeout' => 500 );

    $json_feed = wp_remote_get ( $json_feed_url, $args );

    $webscriber_profile = json_decode ( $json_feed['body'] );

    return $webscriber_profile;
}

Hey Zac did you get my last message with sample code? I cant remove this error please help so I can continue the course.

Thanks

If you var dump $json_feed right after you set it, what does it output. Comment out the last two lines for the moment.

Still error

object(WP_Error)[307]
  private 'errors' => 
    array (size=1)
      'http_request_failed' => 
        array (size=1)
          0 => string 'Failed to connect to teamtreehouse.com port 80: Network unreachable' (length=67)
  private 'error_data' => 
    array (size=0)
      empty

And here is the modified code

function webscriber_profile_get_username($webscriber_username){

    $json_feed_url = 'http://teamtreehouse.com/' . $webscriber_username . '.json';
    $args = array( 'timeout' => 500 );

    $json_feed = wp_remote_get ( $json_feed_url, $args );

    var_dump ( $json_feed );

    /*$webscriber_profile = json_decode ( $json_feed['body'] );

    return $webscriber_profile;*/

}

Okay. What about if you echo out $json_feed_url and paste it in your browser, what do you get? Also try setting timeout to double if that helps.

When I echo the $json_feed_url in my browser I get the correct link for the json file. http://teamtreehouse.com/umeedemad.json

but setting timeout to double does not change anything same error. I am running the code in my localhost. is there any specific setting I need to do with php.ini for connection?

Can you try throwing this up on a server to see if it works there? That will at least tell us if it's a local access issue.

This thread is from quite some time ago, but I had a similar problem. Try the following:

First: Make sure that your php.ini file has this setting:

allow_url_include = On

See: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/185816/http-request-on-localhost-failing

If you aren't working behind a proxy, wp_remote_get() should work. If you are working behind a proxy, see below:

Second: When working behind a proxy, you need to setup your wp-config.php according to the following: http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/75048/how-to-use-the-http-api-with-a-proxy

Hope this helps!

I'm having the same problems but nothing I've tried works - I suspect this has to do with SSL. I'm using MAMP and it's been close to impossible to make it work with SSL (https://) so I haven't been able to go past this video :(

BTW: the error I get is "cURL error 35: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to teamtreehouse.com:443"

The verbose error is:

object(WP_Error)[833] public 'errors' => array (size=1) 'http_request_failed' => array (size=1) 0 => string 'cURL error 35: Unknown SSL protocol error in connection to teamtreehouse.com:443 ' (length=81) public 'error_data' => array (size=0) empty
