ipfs version 0.5.1
ipfshttpclient-0.4.13.2

Ipfs is already running on the background using (nohup ipfs daemon &). Afterwards I tried to obtain already connected ipfs’s client.

$ ipfs config Addresses
{
  "API": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001",
  "Announce": [],
  "Gateway": "/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/8080",
  "NoAnnounce": [],
  "Swarm": [
    "/ip4/0.0.0.0/tcp/4001",
    "/ip6/::/tcp/4001"
  ]
}

import ipfshttpclient

client = ipfshttpclient.connect('/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001/http')

=> What may be the reason of this error? How could I fix it?

Error log:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I’m having this same error, could you pin down what it was?

3

I could not find a solution. I have also opened a issue on their github page but it did not see much attention. https://github.com/ipfs-shipyard/py-ipfs-http-client/issues/218#issue-630403822

4

So I cloned the developing version from github

git clone https://github.com/ipfs/py-ipfs-http-client.git

And I’m getting a different error now, so I guess it’s an improvement haha

5

Check out now it is fixed on the latest version

6

I’m trying to solve this error too, are there a solution?

7

Either the client is using GET instead of POST methods (because it is out of date), or CORS is not correctly configured. Probably the python client needs to be patched to use POST.

8

import ipfshttpclient
import requests

client = ipfshttpclient.connect(’/ip4/127.0.0.1/tcp/5001/http’)
print(client)

@app.route(’/sendfileipfs’,methods=[‘POST’])
def ipsffiles():
with open(‘output.json’) as f:
file_data = json.load(f)
return file_data

if name == ‘main’:
app.run(debug=True,port=5050)

I have like this but don’t work
