I think there is a problem with the gem or the xml folder. But it happened suddenly. The application is closed right now on rails. Can not change the link from http to https
Apparently, you are facing the same problem as this one:
Ruby open-uri redirect forbidden
It's caused because the EU central bank forced a redirection to https but openuri library is not allowing this and that's why you get this error: redirection forbidden.
There is a gem called open_uri_redirections that will patch the openuri to allow redirections.
https://github.com/open-uri-redirections/open_uri_redirections
All you need to do is to:
Gemfile.$ bundle install to install the newly added gem.require 'open_uri_redirections'This should fix your issue temporarily.
Another fix (recommended) is to monkey patch eu_central_bank gem to override
ECB_RATES_URL at eu_central_bank/lib/eu_central_bank.rb:20
ECB_90_DAY_URL at eu_central_bank/lib/eu_central_bank.rb:21
constants with https instead of http.
as follows (put this code to config/initializers/patch_eu_central_bank.rb):
require 'eu_central_bank'
class EuCentralBank
ECB_RATES_URL = 'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml'.freeze
ECB_90_DAY_URL = 'https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-hist-90d.xml'.freeze
end
You might see some warnings like:
warning: already initialized constant EuCentralBank::ECB_RATES_URL.
You can live with it till the PR merged at the EuCentralBank gem.
