python-requests.org domain suspended.

http://python-requests.org/ is showing:

It's the same case for subdomains, including docs.python-requests.org, which is breaking the building of sphinx documentation which refer to requests docs: see https://github.com/brunns/mbtest/runs/6549875114?check_suite_focus=true#step:9:31 for an example.

Hi @brunns, thanks for bringing this to our attention. The domain is still owned by Kenneth and the maintainers haven't had access to it in quite some time.

We'll reach out to Kenneth regarding the domain verification. I wanted to quickly confirm though that https://docs.python-requests.org is working for you. I'm still seeing the docs rendered correctly at that subdomain.

[brunns]

Strange - nope, I'm seeing that same error at https://docs.python-requests.org. I wonder if that's just me?

[nateprewitt]

It may be a CDN caching issue. My hunch would be once those expire, I'll be seeing the same.

[pajot]

I can confirm this, https://docs.python-requests.org is not working for me, either.

[brunns]

A temporary and partial fix might be to stop http://requests.readthedocs.org/ redirecting to https://docs.python-requests.org/?

I can access https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ fine, but our intersphinx links are failing due to cert domain mismatch

[brunns]

FWIW, https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ redirects to https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/ for me, which 404s.

For https://docs.python-requests.org/en/latest/user/quickstart/ I get an SSL error from Chrome:

This server could not prove that it is docs.python-requests.org; 
its security certificate is from *.ispapi.net. 
This may be caused by a misconfiguration or an attacker intercepting your connection.

...and then a 404 if I do get through.

Hi I am seeing the same...

Going to lock this discussion to contributors-only as the issue won't be fixed any faster with additional comments. If you're interested in following when the fix happens you can subscribe to this issue.

For those looking for alternatives, https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ should be returning docs correctly again. This has been the "official" location for some time as we lack controls on the python-requests domains. I'll update again once we receive a response from Kenneth.

[nateprewitt]

Providing a quick update for users following the issue. I've spoken with Kenneth, but we do not have a clear path to recovering the domain. We'd advise anyone currently blocked by this (or anyone providing resources with links to requests) to use https://requests.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ as the primary domain. This matches what has been in the public docs since 2019 and represents what the current maintainers control.
