Status code Error 479

Has anyone seen this error

The proxy tunnel request to proxy ‘http://global.rotating.proxyrack.net:9000/’ failed with status code ‘479’."

What does it mean?

Hi Fiach, welcome to the forum.

479 is not in our public response code list, so I am checking internally rather than guessing at it. I will come back to you here once I have a proper answer.

In the meantime, a couple of things that would help narrow it down: which plan are you on, is it happening on every request or intermittently, and what are you connecting with?

@Fiach_Reid
Got an answer on 479. It comes back on an invalid URL, so it is the request rather than the proxy or your credentials.

Can you paste the exact URL you are sending, or the line that builds it? Most of the time it is a missing scheme, so example.com instead of http://example.com, or a stray space or encoded character in the string. Once I see it I can tell you exactly what is tripping it.
