Day 55-57 Example - write_post()

[rfbernstein]

Within my write_post() implementation, the call resp.json() in the print() returns a list of the previous (in my case) three published items but not the new post that the write_post() was to create. I ran this the original project code using both uplink version 0.4.0 and uplink version 0.9.1 with the same results. I have double checked the source code with the code posted in github. The console output is provided below. Any assistance is appreciated.

Michael,
I used the updated url https://consumerservicesapi.talkpython.fm and it works fine!!!

Hi @rfbernstein

Great, glad the new URL worked.

It's frustrating. The reason the URL had to be changed is Let's Encrypt stopped creating certs for domains_with_underscores.site.com. Fine, but they originally did so they should have at least grandfathered in some domains. There is a redirect for http://consumer_services_api.talkpython.fm/ to the new URL https://consumerservicesapi.talkpython.fm but once browsers know about the SSL version, they won't forget. It does redirect OK in code, but not in the browser.

Long story short, glad you're up and running again.

Here are two bits of info for anyone who runs across this later searching the repo for help. Why does it have to be this way? A cascading chain of annoyances is why we are even talking about this. :)

Perfect in Python:

Seems broken (sometimes is) in browsers:

So just use the new, non _ version of the URL https://consumerservicesapi.talkpython.fm and you'll be fine.
