Exception at startup when behind a proxy (WinXP)
Reported by Pierre-Yves Gérardy | November 3rd, 2010 @ 06:03 AM
Hi,
I'm trying to run Limelight 0.5.5 in order to read the manual, in Windows XP, but it crashes after the splashscreen with the following stacktrace (relevant bits only AFAICT).
I'm behind a proxy that I can't control.
.../jruby-complete-1.4.0.jar!/.../lib/.../net/http.rb:560:in
initialize: Errno::ECONNREFUSED: Connection refused
(Limelight::LimelightException) ... from
.../limelight/util/downloader.rb:100:in
attempt_http_download
... from ...\Limelight\/Runtime_1:3 in new
... from
Limelight::Util::Downloader.download_http(.../util/downloader.rb:30)
...
The error window is too small to show the full trace.

Some debugging later:
download_http is trying to get
http://limelightapps.com:6980/playlist.llpIs there any way to use a local finle instead?

Pierre, this was an inevitable outcome of using a non-standard port. In the future we'll see what we can do to use port 80 or 8080.
In the mean time, you can get the LimelightDocs production here: https://github.com/downloads/8thlight/limelight_docs/limelight_docs...
Hope that helps.

It would be nice if you could go for 80.
Thanks for the help.

BTW, does this mean that Limelight doesn't work offline? Or is it for the first execution only?
It would be nice to have a local (even if outdated) replacement for the files you try to download for offline use.

Limelight works offline. You can open productions off your disk. Typically they have a .llp file extension.
When limelight is loaded with out specifying a production, it attempts to download and open the Playbill production. Playbills connects to a server where several production are hosted. For this, you have to be online of course.
I agree that it would be nice to reopen previously downloaded productions and this will be a feature in the future. For now, you can look in "\Application Support\Limelight\Downloads" for downloaded llp files.
