undefined method `http_response'

Hey all, just trying to get a backup of my web server to S3 using s3sync, but I'm coming up against the following error:

Code:

######.com@cl26:~/scripts/s3sync$ ./s3sync.rb -r --ssl -v -d s3backup/ bck-backup:webserver

I have everything set up correctly in s3config.yml, my Ruby version is 1.8.5, and the bucket and prefix are there. Any help?

[ferrix]

The first s3 command (list_bucket) is throwing NoMethodError. 

I'm not sure whether this is a real "i don't know where that method is" problem, like if your s3 or http streaming code is borked, or if instead it just can't contact the s3 server.  Ever since I implemented --progress the errors coming out of the stream code are just *useless*.

Can you back up and try something else like "./s3cmd.rb listbuckets" or list bck-backup

[bck]

Both the s3cmd.rb commands work fine, listing the bck-backup bucket with the first command and showing the files with the second. No errors at all.

[ferrix]

"listing the files".. what's already in that bucket?  Maybe it's something strange that I'm not expecting?  it's going to be a bit tricky to debug this when I can't cause the problem to occur here.  Bear with me, I want to help!

[bck]

Not a problem, I appreciate the help. I just put a test file up (not using s3sync) to see if it could list, when I'm running the actual s3sync.rb command the bucket is completely empty.

[ferrix]

Even with a totally empty bucket I still can't repro the issue.  I have ruby 1.8.6 here but I'm pretty sure that's not "it".

[bck]

Are there any other versions or settings that would be of interest to you that I could pull? I could probably give you SSH access to the box if you are really keen to fix it.

[ferrix]

Well I want to help, but for the rest of the week my time is no longer my own
