Creating gist failed: 403 Forbidden - macos

This is the error message I am receiving when trying to create a new gist.
Creating gist failed: 403 Forbidden
I have set up GITHUB_USER and GITHUB_PASSWORD as suggested and have tried setting up the environment variable HTTP_PROXY but then I receive this error:
System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/1.8/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/uri/generic.rb:195:in initialize': the scheme http does not accept registry part: host:port (or bad hostname?) (URI::InvalidURIError)

Can't seem to find any support to do with either error!

There might be many reasons to get 403 response from Github, in both existed tools or your own code, for example:
User-Agent is not set in the API requests (http://developer.github.com/changes/2013-04-24-user-agent-required)
You (code or tool) exceed API requests limits (not sure it's your case however as usually limits are high enough)

In jmeter I got this error " "timestamp":"2022-06-23T17:29:09.277+00:00","status":403,"error":"Forbidden","message":"","path" after adding correctpath

"timestamp":"2022-06-23T17:29:09.277+00:00","status":403,"error":"Forbidden","message":"","path
this error is got after adding correct path and token
As per HTTP 403 Forbidden status code description:
The HTTP 403 Forbidden response status code indicates that the server understands the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401, but for the 403 Forbidden status code re-authenticating makes no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
There is a certain difference between authentication and authorization:
Authentication - is whether you can get in or not
Authorization - is after getting in what you're allowed to do
So double check that the user you're logging in with is allowed to do what you want to do as it might be the case you're trying to execute an action which the user is not capable of doing (i.e. due to lack of administrator permissions)
You can see all JMeter Variables along with their respective values using Debug Sampler and View Results Tree listener combination.

How to Resolve HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request

I am trying to access an URL to an application provided by my organisation (will not be able to disclose URL). Majority of my colleagues are able to access it fine. However, I keep encountering the "HTTP Status 400 - Bad Request" error.
I have tried the fixes from https://www.itpro.com/infrastructure/network-internet/359323/what-is-http-error-400-and-how-do-you-fix-it but this issue still persists. I have tried accessing it when connected to external and corporate network and using different types of browsers.
Any idea how can I resolve it?

Jmeter , I'm facing 403 error when i try to run a login test

enter image description here
I used the Regular Expression Extractor for the tokens, but the 403 forbidden error keeps displaying.-check the screenshoot
Seems some missing configuration issue.
Can you please make sure:
You have HTTP Cookie Manager added to your Test Plan
If your application is protected with external authentication system like Basic HTTP Authentication, NTLM or Kerberos you need to handle it properly using HTTP Authorization Manager
Can you try :
Adding HTTP Header Manager and authorization with Basic encoded
one screenshot of the failed response headers doesn't tell the full story, you need to show us:
Successful request URL, body (if any) and headers (you can get it from browser developer tools)
Failing request from JMeter URL, body (if any) and headers from the View Results Tree listener
As per HTTP Status Code 403 description:
The HTTP 403 Forbidden client error status response code indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
This status is similar to 401, but in this case, re-authenticating will make no difference. The access is permanently forbidden and tied to the application logic, such as insufficient rights to a resource.
If you can successfully execute the same scenario using browser and cannot using JMeter - most probably it's due to missing or improperly implemented correlation, try recording the same steps one more time and compare generated scripts, all values which are different needs to be properly worked around

HTTP status code for a resource infected by virus

I'm developing an application which acts as an Http-Proxy for serving files from an external resource. It actually downloads the file from the external resource, checks for viruses and if the file is not infected, returns the file to the client.
My problem is, in case of the file is infected, what HTTP Status code my service should return? I suppose that any type of 4xx error codes is not appropriate for that situation because this class of code is intended for Client errors.
Is a 502 (Bad Gateway) error more appropriate?
Is there any kind of Standard that covers this situation?
I think you are right maestromarko : 502 Bad Gateway. Read the specifications here:
The 502 (Bad Gateway) status code indicates that the server, while
acting as a gateway or proxy, received an invalid response from an
inbound server it accessed while attempting to fulfill the request.
Your proxy is acting as a Gateway and he received what it conciders is invalid as there are virus in it.
It is not a 4xx class error, because whatever the client changes in the request, the result will still be an error.

Http response codes are only meant to handle http specific conditions so I don't think there is a correct answer as such. But some possibilities...
204 - "The server successfully processed the request and is not returning any content"
403 - "The request was valid, but the server is refusing action"

JMeter error : java.net.SocketException: Unexpected end of file from server

I have read and tried the solutions shared in the previous posts for this error but nothing helped me to fix this. Kindly help.
I am making a HTTPS API call. A very simple call which accepts a 2 KB JSON message via POST method and sends a one word acknowledgement. It works perfectly fine in Postman tool. In JMeter, no. of threads (users) is kept as 25. It works perfectly fine one time with all 25 success response and at times getting few failure response as
Response code: Non HTTP response code: java.net.SocketException
Response message: Non HTTP response message: Unexpected end of file from server
No consistency at all. I have also tried with both enabling and disabling "use keepalive" checkbox. Both giving me all success one time ; few/all failure at another time with the above error. Please help. Thank you.
Below are the JMeter settings:
HTTP Header Manager : Content-Type - application/json
HTTPRequest sampler : protocol - HTTPS
Server Name or IP : project server name
Method : POST
PATH : The required path with https authentication details passed as parameters
IMPLEMENTATION : Set to JAVA (HTTPCLIENT4 was giving me “443 failed to respond” error)
Add header
Connection Keep-Alive
Both errors (Java implementation and Apache HTTPClient4 implementation), are essentially saying the same thing: The server closed the connection, without providing any response. I think there could be the following reasons:
Authentication problem. If server side checks authentication before processing a request (e.g. using Spring), it may be rejecting your request, it may be not bothering with any response if authentication is not considered correct.
Request Issue. Some less noticeable properties of the request you send via Jmeter are different from what you send in Postman. It could be some minor thing with formatting, or some headers server expects. Some of such inconsistencies can also cause Load Balancer (if you use one) to reject request before it's delivered to the server.
Certificate issues. Since you are using HTTPS, you need to make sure your certificate is setup correctly on JMeter side.
So I suggest:
Review server logs and see if your request makes it to the server. If yes, you might be able to see how it was rejected. If not, you need to trace back and see who rejected it (LB, authentication, etc)
Compare headers and body sent by JMeter vs Postman line to line (use TCPDump for example to obtain it).
