Connection to php fails - takes too long to respond

Website URL

http://resonantrunnersapi.wuaze.com/fetchscores.php?scores=2

Error Message

This site can’t be reached

The website took too long to respond.

Try:

  • Checking the connection
  • Checking the proxy and the firewall

ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT

Other Information

The page worked perfectly yesterday, so I know it’s not the code’s fault. The SQL hasn’t changed since then, either, and the root page displays the home page just fine

I just checked that URL and it’s working fine for me, and is quite fast for me too.

Do you still have this issue? And if you do, could you please try to connect from a different device and network (or just use a VPN) to rule out any issues on your end?

It’s an issue on my end! For some reason my school network doesn’t want to make the connection, but using my mobile data it worked just fine. I have two further questions: When I try connecting to the site via a script (I’m using it as a high score database for my game), it doesn’t work. I’m assuming the httprequest needs to pass some javascript-based test. And how come the php doesn’t work on my school network? Any guesses are welcome, I’m very curious

The php should work, it’s probably the site being blocked by your school (as usual). If your fetch script has support for JS and cookies, it should pass the test just fine (the security system is also the reason behind the ?i=1 mark)

Please understand that we only provide website hosting. Using our hosting for an API or data storage for another application is not allowed or supported, and will probably be blocked by this security system:

My guess is that your school’s firewall is blocking connections to our servers. We host a lot of websites on every IP address, and free services unfortunately tend to be abused a lot. This results in some network administrators just blocking all access to our servers, regardless of the consequences of many legitimate websites.

Only your school’s network administrators can solve this I’m afraid.
