Oneboxer.onebox('https://bilibili.com') invocation in rails c, then getting the same error. I do not know why and feel puzzled now, because Discourse can process OAuth and AI request and other HTTP requests with no errors, it only happened to OneBox, but YouTube OneBox can be normally generated. It was using a proxy server now and I am sure that this is not proxy’s problem, curl, wget and httpx module in Python could fetch response successfully, but excon in Ruby gave me SSL: wrong version number, what should I do to fix it? I used 3.0.13 release of OpenSSL, which was published in Jan. 2024, when compiling the Ruby interpreter, is that version too old?

Try replacing https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/main/config%2Finitializers%2F013-excon_defaults.rb with: require "excon" Excon::DEFAULTS[:include_default_port] = true Due to a misconfiguration of Excon, the port number was not being passed when using an HTTP proxy. Consequently, the proxy server was connecting to the remote server using port 80, while Excon was still attempting to decrypt the HTTP content using TLS.

More supplement: Executing Excon.get in rails c, got the same. Maybe it is a problem from excon library? discourse(prod)> Excon.get('https://bilibili.com') (discourse):3:in ' ': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=192.168.50.1:10808 state=error: wrong version number (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) (Excon::Error::Socket) /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/ssl_socket.rb:151:in 'OpenSSL::SSL::SSLSocket#connect_nonblock': SSL_connect returned=1 errno=0 peeraddr=192.168.50.1:10808 state=error: wrong version number (OpenSSL::SSL::SSLError) from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/ssl_socket.rb:151:in 'Excon::SSLSocket#initialize' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/connection.rb:487:in 'Class#new' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/connection.rb:487:in 'Excon::Connection#socket' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/connection.rb:120:in 'Excon::Connection#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/mock.rb:57:in 'Excon::Middleware::Mock#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/instrumentor.rb:34:in 'Excon::Middleware::Instrumentor#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/idempotent.rb:19:in 'Excon::Middleware::Idempotent#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/base.rb:22:in 'Excon::Middleware::Base#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/decompress.rb:14:in 'Excon::Middleware::Decompress#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/middlewares/base.rb:22:in 'Excon::Middleware::Base#request_call' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon/connection.rb:293:in 'Excon::Connection#request' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/excon-1.2.5/lib/excon.rb:252:in 'Excon.get' from (discourse):3:in ' ' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/irb-1.15.2/lib/irb/workspace.rb:101:in 'Kernel#eval' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/irb-1.15.2/lib/irb/workspace.rb:101:in 'IRB::WorkSpace#evaluate' from /home/mry/.rbenv/versions/3.4.6/lib/ruby/gems/3.4.0/gems/irb-1.15.2/lib/irb/context.rb:591:in 'IRB::Context#evaluate_expression' ... 28 levels...
