Non-persistent mode expects database to be present

[inge4pres]

Hi,

I am trying to use this configuration to create a client

mykey := os.Getenv("SB_KEY")
conf := &sb.Config{
		APIKey:    mykey,
		Logger:    os.Stdout,
		ThreatLists: []sb.ThreatDescriptor{
			sb.ThreatDescriptor{
				ThreatType:   sb.ThreatType_Malware,
				PlatformType: sb.PlatformType_AllPlatforms,
			},
		},
	}
client, err := sb.NewSafeBrowser(*conf)
...
threats, err := client.LookupURLs([]string{url})
...

When running tests I get this error

safebrowsing: 2017/01/04 14:53:06 database.go:186: ListUpdate failure: safebrowsing: unexpected server response code: 404
safebrowsing: 2017/01/04 14:53:06 safebrowser.go:365: inconsistent database: safebrowsing: unexpected server response code: 404

And looking at the source it seems that it will try to ListUpdate() every request.
What is the right way of running the lookup like documented here?

Thank You

I just tried running this on my machine and with the url set to something like "http://google.com" it printed the following:

safebrowsing: 2017/01/04 09:37:36 database.go:100: no database file specified
safebrowsing: 2017/01/04 09:37:38 database.go:291: database is now healthy
Results: [[]]

I'm surprised that you get 404 errors since nothing in your Config struct changed the ServerURL field.
What revision are you running on? Do you have any local changes?

Hi @dsnet thanks for your support.
I grabbed the code with go get github.com/google/safebrowsing and did no changes to the source code.
Tried again now with the same config and got

=== RUN   TestCheckMaliciousURL
safebrowsing: 2017/01/07 12:26:40 database.go:100: no database file specified
safebrowsing: 2017/01/07 12:26:40 database.go:186: ListUpdate failure: safebrowsing: unexpected server response code: 404
safebrowsing: 2017/01/07 12:26:40 safebrowser.go:365: inconsistent database: safebrowsing: unexpected server response code: 404
--- FAIL: TestCheckMaliciousURL (0.14s)
	post_test.go:26: safebrowsing: unexpected server response code: 404

with a valid URL with trailing slash.
I am on Windows, maybe this is the issue? :)

I resolved it by removing the ThreatList from the config, don't know why exactly.
