title: How to solve Tweepy’s BadStatusLine error
body: <p>I developed a Twitter application with Python Tweepy API. It was working well for 3 months. Yesterday it stopped working. I tried some debugs to find the problem. I noticed that if i reduced the number of words that i follow, it starts to work. Normally i just follow 80 words. Whey do i get this error?</p>
  
  <p>Here is my error message:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "murat.py", line 82, in &lt;module&gt;
      stream.filter(track=queries)
    File "/root/tas_test/tweepydll/tweepy/streaming.py", line 239, in filter
      self._start(async)
    File "/root/tas_test/tweepydll/tweepy/streaming.py", line 178, in _start
      self._run()
    File "/root/tas_test/tweepydll/tweepy/streaming.py", line 117, in _run
      resp = conn.getresponse()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1030, in getresponse
      response.begin()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 407, in begin
      version, status, reason = self._read_status()
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/httplib.py", line 371, in _read_status
      raise BadStatusLine(line)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>l = StdOutListener()
  auto = OAuthHandler(consumer_key, consumer_secret) 
  auth.set_access_token(access_token, access_token_secret)
  stream = Stream(auth, l)
  stream.filter(track=track_words, follow=follow_people)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance, regards.</p>
