Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error and was unable to complete your request. Either the server is overloaded or there is an error in the application.

I think the connection to Github has no problem.

version

grip -V
Grip 4.4.0

I have the same problem, seems related to https://developer.github.com/changes/2018-02-01-weak-crypto-removal-notice/

So Github just turned off the TLS1.0 and only allows TLS1.2, I fixed the issue with the openssl upgrade and python reinstallation.

brew update
brew install openssl

Then openssl version should be 1.0.x

brew update
brew install pyenv
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> .zshrc
source .zshrc
pyenv install 3.5.2
pyenv global 3.5.2

python --version 
python -c 'import ssl; print ssl.OPENSSL_VERSION'

After that, you can see python is using openssl 1.0.x, and if you reinstall grip everything should be good.

Thanks a lot for this hint!

Important to add: This won't work with the Homebrew version because the Homebrew version uses an old Python (at least for me). So maybe, the Homebrew version needs an update?

[cunninghamzac]

I couldn't get this to work with Homebrew either. I ended up uninstalling grip in Homebrew and re-installing it with pip after I did the other steps

brew update
brew install openssl

brew update
brew install pyenv
echo 'eval "$(pyenv init -)"' >> .bash_profile
source .bash_profile
pyenv install 3.5.2
pyenv global 3.5.2

Thanks @cunninghamzac! Uninstalling it via Homebrew and using pip install grip worked for me, too.

@peterfication, Homebrew now uses 3.x as the default python.

[joeyespo]

Yes, this is due to GitHub shutting off weak TLS.

Thanks for chiming in, @shirohana, @xavierchow, @cunninghamzac ❤️

[joeyespo]

Actually, while I'm releasing new versions, I added an except block in v1.5.2 pointing people here if they happen to hit this error (f015871). Can anyone still experiencing this confirm it worked / add anything missing? Thanks again!

@joeyespo I got your error, there is a spelling mistake in the error message though. I made a pull request #266
