is strava.com blocked on your computer/network?

if not, could you run this code in python 3.7 and let me know if it runs:

import requests

print(requests.get("http://www.google.com").status)

[barrald]

The code you posted won't run for me in Python 3.7, although this does and I get a 200:

req = requests.get("http://www.google.com")
req.status_code

[pcartwright81]

Using python 3.9 and should work in 3.7. Does this fail? Is there a self signed proxy somewhere in your network? If Google works and Strava fails something is blocking the URL.
import requests
print(requests.get("https://www.google.com").status_code)
print(requests.get("https://www.strava.com").status_code)

[RoseApollo]

do you have a fire wall? if so check if it is blocking strava
