Topic: tx.fhir.org not responding to ping
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 10 2020 at 05:56):
tx.fhir.org seems to be up, but it's not responding to pings. That's a problem, because the build process pings tx.fhir.org before deciding whether to try running the publisher without a terminology server. It's working some of the time, so I suspect there might be some sort of DoS protection that causes the server to ignore pings from the same source in semi-close proximity. E.g. kicking off a build, having it fail, making a change, and kicking it off again. @Grahame Grieve, is there anything we can do here?

ping really is unreliable these days.
Grahame Grieve (Nov 10 2020 at 06:13):
you need to use http
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 10 2020 at 06:24):
What's a lightweight http call that can be made to the tx server?
Grahame Grieve (Nov 10 2020 at 06:25):
http://tx.fhir.org/snomed/doco

you can't, btw

Passing -tx n/a seems to work...
Grahame Grieve (Nov 10 2020 at 09:18):
apparently it does. I don't think it should though, at least for HL7 IGs
Lloyd McKenzie (Nov 10 2020 at 13:56):
It needs to unless we're confident that tx services will never go down again. Developers need to continue work in the absence of a terminology service. It's fine if the CI build process chokes when the terminology service isn't available.
Jose Costa Teixeira (Nov 11 2020 at 17:42):
We can add a non-ping check for http://tx.fhir.org/snomed/doco. I guess the simplest is to try and download that page (redirect the download to null).
- Is that right?
- Does anyone know how to do that for windows 7 without powershell? (Assuming that is to be supported)
