Request to Post Bridge failed: {last_exception}

Error message

Request to Post Bridge failed: {last_exception}

What it means

Raised by PostBridgeClient._request when every retry attempt fails with a transport-level exception (connection error, timeout, TLS failure) so there is no HTTP response to inspect. The last underlying exception is chained into the message for diagnosis.

Solutions

1. Check basic connectivity: curl the API base URL from the same machine
2. Inspect the chained last_exception (DNS? TLS? timeout?) to narrow the cause
3. Increase timeout / max_retries for large uploads that time out on slow links
4. Configure proxy settings if a corporate network intercepts traffic

Example fix

// before
raise PostBridgeClientError(f"Request to Post Bridge failed: {last_exception}")

// after
raise PostBridgeClientError(
    f"Request to Post Bridge failed after {self._max_retries} attempts: "
    f"{type(last_exception).__name__}: {last_exception}"
) from last_exception

try:
    client.create_post(...)
except PostBridgeClientError as exc:
    if "Request to Post Bridge failed" in str(exc):
        # transport-level failure: back off and retry once after connectivity check
        time.sleep(10)
        client.create_post(...)
    else:
        raise

When it happens

Trigger: Network offline, DNS resolution failure for the API host, connection refused (service down), TLS certificate errors, or read timeouts exceeding the retry budget across all attempts.

Common situations: Local machine loses connectivity, corporate proxy blocking the API host, DNS misconfiguration, the API endpoint temporarily down, or an over-aggressive timeout on large media uploads.
